...March 23 loss to California (8-2) was the hardest to take. Despite Cal’s gaudy record and rank, Harvard had plenty of reason to be confident entering the game—the Crimson destroyed the Golden Bears last year, 11-2, at Jordan Field. And when Harvard jumped out to a 4-0 lead, it looked like the team would once again cruise to a victory...
...group based in Kurdish-controlled Iraq that the Americans believe is linked to al-Qaeda. "There are three or four isolated pockets of Ansar on very high ground. We're closing in on them from everywhere we can," says an American commando named Mark, who declines to give his rank or surname. The fire coming down from the craggy peak is torrid. Machineguns rattle from above. Ansar snipers pin down troops, their rounds pinging off rocks and buzzing past heads. In return, Kurdish artillery fires in from the flat plains about 2 miles below.

...control of his brewing colossus passed to his daughter and sole heir, Charlene de Carvalho Heineken, 48.

...tale of the four Benetton siblings--Luciano, Giuliana, Gilberto and Carlo--who launched their clothing empire by knitting sweaters at the kitchen table at night, has become legendary in Italy; they currently rank among Europe's wealthiest families. Color was the key to their success. Luciano, 67, the eldest, has said he couldn't bear to see young women in the 1960s dressing like their mothers and young men still decked out in gray. The bright, cheerful knitwear they produced was a hit in Italy, and soon they were exporting around the world, their products increasingly accompanied by provocative...
...view that GESO and the labor leaders of Locals 34 and 35 unions have done Yale service and maintenance workers a disservice by linking the good cause of the Locals 34 and 35 with the dubious cause of GESO. I suspect many of the rank and file union members agree, as was evidenced by low turnout by union workers all week on campus (only one or two of the campus buildings were picketed at all, most students attended class unimpeded by any picket lines). GESO does not have the interest of Yale or its students in mind. Therefore I, along...
