...trying to get by on their great individual style. But it was center back Pepe who found a way through the Turkish defense, taking a Ronaldo pass and playing a one-two with Nuno Gomes. In injury time, Ronaldo and João Moutinho created a tap-in for Raul Meireles, who had come on a minute earlier. They are Grade A in Group...
...guerrillas aren't down for the count yet; but their membership, according to U.S. intelligence, has been halved to about 10,000 in recent years, and FARC's command structure is dwindling.

...caffeinated bellowing about his anti-Castro bona fides and the Cuba-policy cowardice of his opponent, in this case Obama. President Franklin Roosevelt "didn't talk with Hitler," McCain argued, attacking Obama's recent suggestion that if elected President he would open a dialogue with communist Cuba's leader, Raul Castro, as well as leaders of other hostile nations such as Iran...
