...will be little dots scrambling on a field far below - except in the rare cases when the two worlds collide. In a much discussed incident during a preseason game at the stadium in August, A.J. Trapasso of the Tennessee Titans managed to bonk the JumboTron with a punt, which set off a fuss about whether it would have to be hauled higher. Jones has refused, and for now the NFL has ruled that if another punt hits the big TV, it's a do-over. (See pictures of other stadiums that scored...
...cheaper than that, but it comes with a catch. Terraces behind each end zone have been set aside as standing room for $29 a head. The Cowboys call those tickets "party passes," because standees get to mill around, chug beer and do their own sack dances if that's what they're in the mood for - they're the sports-world equivalent of free-range chickens. But knowing that the most affordable tickets don't actually get you a seat does nothing to discourage the suspicion that even fewer than that 7% of all fans will be able...
...muscle comes from the main structural supports of the stadium's retractable roof, a pair of massive single-span steel arches, each a quarter-mile in length, that plant their big feet in concrete boxes just outside the exterior walls. The lightness comes from 180-ft.-high glass doors set between the arches on two sides of the stadium. Those let in an exceptional amount of natural sunlight for a climate-controlled environment and give anyone approaching the building a clear vista straight across the field and out the other side. After the infernal summer weather leaves town, a line...
...practice of rescission (nixing policies for dubious reasons when sick people need them most) and annual and lifetime spending caps that insurers place on some policyholders would immediately be banned. For those who can't get insurance because of pre-existing conditions, a catastrophic-care fund would immediately be set up to provide coverage. And as part of an agreement with the pharmaceutical industry, seniors who fall into the so-called doughnut hole (after they spend their first $2,700) in the Medicare Prescription Drug Program would immediately start receiving 50% discounts...
When President Obama laid out his new Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy in March, he vowed to "not blindly stay the course." Instead, a series of metrics would be set out to measure progress. Last week, the Obama Administration issued a draft of those metrics to Congress. Where Pakistan is concerned, the goals center on disrupting international terrorist networks, developing the military's counterinsurgency capabilities, helping to enhance civilian control and building a global consensus on stabilizing the country. The first of what will become regular assessments will be drafted at the end of March 2010. But in the six months between...
