Special forces were usually ahead of the tip of the spear: as U.S. troops pushed toward Baghdad, secret combat teams zipped into Iraq aboard specially outfitted MC-130 Combat Talon planes that used highways as landing strips, surprising the enemy at its rear. On the road to Tikrit, they fingered Iraqi vehicles fleeing the capital for destruction by M1 tanks. And inside the capital, the elite Delta Force slipped into Baghdad's back alleys and into its sewers to eavesdrop on communications, cut fiber-optic cables, target regime leaders and build networks of informants...
...driver has a high, clear view of the road, and the controls are easy to read and reach. Volvo's designers added such nifty touches as a children's booster seat in the middle of the second row (a third-row seat is optional) and headrests on the rear seats that fold down if you want to use the interior to haul bulky cargo.

There's a small degree of liability there." Mopar sells a dizzying array of auto accessories--from chrome grilles to rear spoilers--but steers clear of supersize rims. Its parent company will go only 3 in. bigger than what comes standard, which is why the dealers that are starting to display tricked-out "Moparized" cars will probably outfit them with non-Mopar wheels...
...life, I had never been a driver in an auto accident. I had never even been pulled over. But as I made that final left turn onto Harvard St. in Allston, only blocks away from EZ, it happened. A car in the next lane nailed me, crushing the right rear door before speeding...
