...repaying the $28 million a year the U.S. insurance behemoth agreed to pay to slap its logo on the club jersey for four years - more than 50% higher than the amount previously paid to sponsor the club by cell-phone operator Vodafone. When one shareholder wondered why AIG would spend so much on the U.K., a relatively modest part of its empire, ceo Martin Sullivan explained: "I am not buying the U.K. I am buying Asia."

But as former majority leader Bob Dole and others have learned, the chamber isn't an ideal base from which...
...ocean on the west, but I think those oceans have pretty much disappeared and you have to keep traveling and reporting and seeing different places. I think I am going to go back to the way I was before. There is more time now that I would like to spend with my kids. Covering wars in the past sometimes I was gone for 3 months or more...
