...cases like Cloyd's and Hughes'. But the warning signs in Cloyd's case were just the kind to evade industry scrutiny. Cloyd joined America West 12 years ago, but the airline knew nothing about his '86 DUI arrest (he was convicted on a lesser charge of reckless driving) because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) did not require pilots to report alcohol- or drug-related convictions until 1990, and the rule was not retroactive.

...certainties. Not since Brazil in 1966 has the reigning champion been eliminated in the first round. Not since 1962 has Argentina failed to progress to the knockout stage. And when was the last time three possible semifinalists went home this early? Try never. After last week, only a reckless fool would predict safe passage for the big names in future tournaments...
