...Despite its brief lifespan, the ruling gave rise to the most spectacular display of religious fervor in recent memory, particularly among elected officials. Suddenly, everyone in public office was going out of their way to proclaim their deep, deep love of the Pledge and their unbending faith in God. Wednesday, nearly the full House of Representatives took time from their busy schedules to recite the Pledge and join hands for a rousing rendition of "God Bless America." Hopefully no one will remind them that 50 years ago, before President Eisenhower inserted it into the Pledge, the "under God" phrase didn...

...hard-nosed tackler or a playmaker. And those are the things you do." That's not the way many international coaches work it. Former U.S. and current China coach Bora Milutinovic, says Meola, makes players adjust to his system. Both approaches can win, but Arena's produced spectacular results last week. He surprised all by starting a pair of 20-year-old speed merchants, DaMarcus Beasley and Landon Donovan, to take the attack to Portugal. "Beasley and Donovan were in top form," Arena says. "It was clear to me they belonged on the field." He told them at the last...
