...which is now earning handsome profits. Nor has he shied from downsizing. Under his reign, Boeing's commercial division layed off 30,000 workers, shuttered factories and killed products that weren't pulling their financial weight, like the 100-seat 717 plane. Says Bill Ford, on his decision to recruit Mulally: "I wouldn't have made this move unless I found the right person... I felt our management team needed a leader who had earned his stripes in a very tough situation...
...normally disciplined Republican machine let their primary for such an important office turn into a laughing stock is grist for comedy shows and conspiracy theories alike. Abandoned early and publicly by both state and national party leaders - everyone from Jeb Bush to Karl Rove reportedly tried to recruit an alternative candidate - Harris's every campaign stumble and fashion faux-pas has eclipsed virtually all other issues, even her questionable dealings with Mitchell Wade, the defense contractor who funnelled $32,000 in illegal contributions to her 2004 reelection campaign and has also plead guilty to bribing California congressman Duke Cunningham.

The decision to limit over-the-counter sales to women 18 and up was a compromise reached...
...British extremist groups will often send a particularly promising recruit to Pakistan, on the pretext of visiting relatives, to link up with contacts there. "So they are visiting their relatives, and they say they are leaving for a few weeks to visit friends in Karachi. Instead they go meet up with one of the groups that they were given references to," Rizvi says. The purpose of such visits, he adds, is more likely to be ideological reinforcement than military training.
