Assorted Senators, from New York Democrat Chuck Schumer to Montana Democrat Max Baucus and Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley, have proposed a number of tax and legal schemes to snatch back the bonus bucks from AIG FP executives - 73 of whom got payouts of $1 million or more, according to New York State attorney general Andrew Cuomo.

...glaring mismatch. The Crimson beat all expectations, though, when the team came out victorious in a 9-6 contest that saw the beginnings of Cohen’s brilliance. Harvard was down by one when Cohen tied it up thanks to a combined effort with captain Max Motschwiller. Then the freshman put the Crimson on top on the scoreboard, igniting a run that forced the Blue Devils into an unexpected deficit. Duke threatened to make a comeback, tying it up at three, but a goal from junior Jason Duboe followed by another successfuly shot by Cohen put those worries...
