...game it was, a 20-19 final in the closest - and perhaps the best - Super Bowl ever. Even in Hollywood it was a hit, as Bills kicker Scott's Norwood's missed field-goal attempt in the waning seconds was the inspiration for the suspenseful plot in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." So if it weren't for that game, we may never have seen Don Shula almost get his arm ripped off while mailing a letter...
...look at what Mandelson did [making calls to a government department on behalf of a citizenship applicant who had made a large donation to a pet project of the Labor government], it doesn't appear to be obvious influence-peddling. On the other hand, he wouldn't have made that phone call for just anybody. But the important thing is that he misled his colleagues, whether deliberately or inadvertently.

Cheney shocked the Pentagon during his tenure there a decade ago when he killed the Navy's pet A-12 jet and tried to cancel the Marines' V-22 tilt-rotor, the troubled $40 billion project that was saved only by its congressional backers. The Crusader's fate will show just how vigorously Rumsfeld is willing to shake up the Pentagon's cold war mind-set or whether...
