...disarm immediately and completely. He still hasn't. I can't think of any recent war that tried so hard for so long to give peace a chance. This isn't so much a "rush to war," as some have bizarrely called it. It's an endless, painstaking, nail-biting crawl...
...Wildcats (2-0) struck back, intercepting an errant pass, running the ball back into the Crimson zone and holding on for the rest of the game. Northwestern sophomore Courtney Flynn’s goal off a free position shot with nine seconds remaining proved to be the final nail in the coffin, sealing a 7-4 victory for the Wildcats...

But undercover cops have begun to sniff out these alternative-fuel users (the exhaust smells like french fries) and nail them for tax evasion. And while diesel cars can run well on such oils--so long as all the glycerin, water and other contaminants have been removed--the homemade stuff can gunk up an engine. Meanwhile, British foodmakers like Wal-Mart subsidiary ASDA have started to team up with refineries to turn used cooking...
