Zubin M. Teja '02, a computer science concentrator who attended the luncheon, said he was very interested to hear what Ballmer had to say about the future of computer science. He also said he was impressed by how easy it was to speak with Ballmer...
...placed on high alert - and present a headache for the U.S. "Despite Kashmir, there had been some optimism that dialogue between Nawaz and [India?s Prime Minister Atal Bihari] Vajpayee could improve relations, but a military government in Pakistan is likely to be a lot more belligerent toward India," says Rahman. "A coup would also signal Washington?s waning influence over the Pakistani military ? the U.S. explicitly warned against the military seizing power only three weeks ago." Rhetoric aside, however, a military government may be cautious about dramatically changing Pakistan?s foreign relations. Even if they?re more defiant...
...Boston Red Sox last won baseball's world championship fourscore and one years ago, in 1918, and as baseball folk like to say, you can look it up. They did not win in 1919 and, though they came so very close, they did not win in 1946, '48, '49, '67, '72, '75, '78, '86, '88 and, in this decade, 1990, '95, '96 and '98.

Scott tickled Callie under the chin and said, ?"They just may win it in your lifetime." They both giggled. Scott was making sport. He thought he was being funny...
...say, I'm a father now myself. My father, for his part, is fourscore years-plus, hasn't missed a game all season on TV and has himself in fine post-season shape for this series against the Yanks. My friend John's father, who lives in Providence, is pretty sick, and has us all praying the Sox do it this year. Another John, in Andover, Mass., lost both his parents in the past few years, so it didn't happen in their lifetimes. But his wife Anne's mother, in Winchester, is going crazy over Pedro, and John...
