...Crimson found itself with its back against the wall—a position it has often occupied this season—in game four, but Harvard rose to the occasion to play perhaps its best game of the year. Storming out to a 10-2 lead, the Crimson never looked back in cruising to the five-point victory, and seemed to have captured the momentum heading into a decisive game five...
...Duty some of these veterans proved extremely difficult to track down. Stephen W. Hatch, a boatswain?s mate who served under Kerry on PCF-44, proved particularly elusive. Eventually I located him in Niagra Falls, New York and he told me about his admiration for Chuck Berry guitar licks, rose tattoos and John Kerry. As my book went to press the only Swift crewmate I couldn?t locate was Gardner. A quick count in the index of Tour of Duty shows that Gardner?s name appears on a dozen different pages throughout my narrative. He also periodically appeared in Kerry...
...business from the trucking industry. Traffic is up at each of the big four railroads--Union Pacific and BNSF in the West and Norfolk Southern and CSX in the East. "People from all over the world, from Europe to China, come to look at our system," boasts Matthew Rose, BNSF's chairman, president and CEO.

BNSF, which handles one-fourth of the nation...
...town of Colton, Calif., east of Los Angeles, is now the busiest spot in the West for rail traffic, thanks to a tsunami of transpacific trade--$1.3 billion for BNSF alone this year--arriving at ports from San Diego to Seattle. "At the end of the day," says Rose, "all roads lead to China." Particularly railroads: BNSF's China-related business has doubled in the past six years. And Wall Street is taking note. Rising revenue on rail lines and new rest requirements for truckers have analysts gingerly talking about a "rail renaissance." BNSF's stock is trading near...
...employees this year and 1,000 more in each of the next five years. "I don't know if this is railroad's new Golden Age," says BNSF's boss, "but we haven't suffered the carnage of other businesses like steel and the airlines." Not that Rose doesn't dream big. Eventually, he says, the country's railroads won't be divided between East and West, and there will be a true transcontinental network. Then the big boards at the NOC will really get busy...
