But at the same time, Brabeck has moved to boost profitability by closing dozens of creaky factories, ditching low-margin operations such as cocoa-and tomato-processing plants and improving productivity. Under his leadership, the company has cut manufacturing costs by $2.8 billion, and more savings are promised...

...ball on a stiff Penn defense will fall to sophomore running back Cheng Ho, who earned his second and third career 100-yard rushing games the last two weeks, and senior quarterback Chris Pizzotti, who leads the Ivies in pass efficiency. Harvard, also leading the league in turnover margin, will have to avoid turnovers against a Quakers team that is forcing almost three-per-game...
