...where European and U.S. steel mills are cutting back on production, China seems to be expanding. Luxemburg-based ArcelorMittal, the world's biggest steelmaker, is slashing output by half, for instance. Yet state-supported Chinese steel companies are actually ramping up both capacity and output, according to Chinese government figures. The China Iron and Steel Association says that the production of crude steel has risen since December, from 1.2 million tons a day to 1.4 million. (China's annual excess production capacity is already about 100 million tons, more than the annual U.S. steel output...
...unmanly middle names that have caused their owners the most political trouble. In 2006, Jim Henry Webb hammered home the fact that his Virginia Senate opponent was actually George Felix Allen - a middle name that conjured up images of Felix Unger, or perhaps the real life Prince Felix of Luxemburg, either one a far cry from the tobacco-chewing good ole boy Allen styled himself as.

Already, this was an incredible turn of events. KT, as they are known in the community, were the No. 2-ranked team in the country, and for them to lose on the first stage of elimination rounds was a monstrous upset. More surprisingly, Luxemburg and his partner Christine A. Malumphy ’05 had made it to the semis, and they would face Northwestern, Harvard’s biggest rival, for a chance at the finals...
Despite KT’s upset, the Harvard team has closed the season in glory. In addition to Lux and Malumphy’s fiery finish, Klinger was the NDT’s top speaker, and Tarloff got fourth. Luxemburg came in 15th, and Malumphy, who got 23rd, bowed out of the debate game on a thrilling high note. Granted, no Copeland trophy this year (the answer to our cover from March 10 is apparently “no”), but as speculation about next season begins and Tarloff starts planning his post college years as an American playboy...
