...business collapsed, and Ferrari had to find a new way to support his mother. So in late 1918 he took a job as a test driver with a small car company in Milan. By 1920, he was racing for Alfa Romeo, and he took first prize in the Savio Circuit in 1923. Impressed by the fearlessness of the young racer, the father of World War I flying ace Francesco Baracca presented Ferrari with his son's squadron badge.

All four teams have been suspended from playing for a year, and India's National Football Association is mulling a life ban for everybody involved. Curtorim's general secretary Arnold...
Ever since Mario Savio climbed atop a police car and jump-started the Free Speech Movement in 1964, the University of California, Berkeley, has been synonymous with liberal causes. So the California Patriot comes as something of a surprise. On the walls of its editorial offices in a small house near the campus, campaign signs for nearly a dozen Republican candidates sit alongside a large American flag and a massive poster of George W. Bush. In its pages, articles argue against abortion and for war with Iraq. "At Berkeley's campus, you can only hear one side of any political...
