...cruiser slows as it draws close to its quarry, and its four Greek sailors gather at the front windshield. One of the men trips the Lambro's floodlights. Bobbing in the open sea 50 feet away are five young men, shielding their eyes from the sudden beam of light. Closer in, it becomes clear they are wearing only bathing suits and T shirts in the chilly night, sitting in an inflatable blue-and-yellow dinghy meant for beach play and propelled by two aluminum and plastic paddles...
...sudden the media realizes what a disaster George W. Bush has been, not only for his country but for the whole world. Bush's incompetence should have been obvious from the very beginning of his cataclysmic presidency, and yet nobody talked of impeachment even after it had become evident that the Administration lied about its motives to go to war.

To implement a rule change, three-fourths of the owners must agree with the proposal. In '03, just 55% of the owners approved it. The next year, only 22% jumped on board...
...These results are disheartening. Mara, who voted "yes" both times, has seen the potential harm of sudden death up close. In last year's NFC championship game, the Green Bay Packers won the overtime toss against the Giants. Although Favre threw an interception that led to a game-winning field goal for New York, Mara sweated it out. If the Packers had won without a New York possession, "I know how I would have felt," he says...
