...Mike Myers' signature shtick is the grin and shrug of a little boy who's just said something naughty or possibly made fart bubbles in the bathtub, and who relies on charm to get away with it. He used it on Saturday Night Live as young Simon, of course, and as basement TV host Wayne Campbell, and once or twice as Linda Richman. Austin Powers occasionally flashed that someone-stop-me grin through his misshapen English teeth. (Dieter the German performance artist and Shrek, not so much.) The Cat in the Hat was nothing but irritating-ingratiating impishness...
...Mike Gering, CEO of the start-up Global Solar, picks his way along his factory floor, tracing the convoluted path that his thin-film solar panels follow from birth to shipping truck. The raw materials the workers carry are ultra-thin sheets of flexible plastic, which are then coated with a series of chemicals--indium, gallium, diselenide--that allows the module to turn sunlight into electricity...

Yale running back Mike McLeod, despite a nagging toe injury, was averaging 174.3 yards and over three touchdowns per game. And, to top it off, the Bulldogs were playing in front of the home crowd in their bid for their first unbeaten and untied season since...
After a pair of punts, Harvard struck on three consecutive drives with a 33-yard pass from Pizzotti to Luft, a one-yard plunge by sophomore Cheng Ho, and a 15-yard screen pass to sophomore Mike Cook after a failed fake punt by the Bulldogs. Only a fourth-down stop of a Pizzotti sneak at the goal line on the final play of the first half left Yale with anything to play for at halftime, trailing...
