...quieted, Hendricks nearly won Tuesday’s game for Harvard with his arm. But Florida International successfully waited out the Texan, scoring two runs after he exited in the eighth to prevail...
...Studying Ash Shinariya from his hatch, Mitchell, a wiry 34 year-old, turned to his crew-blonde Texan Sergeant Robert Jones and care free Californian Private First Class Jonah Bishop-and cracking a wide grin he uttered into his mic, "lees go een start a feet." (Translation from Mississippi's best Braveheart imitation: Lets go start a fight.) The recon mission was to test Iraqi defenses around Ash Shinariya.

It isn't hard to see why Munoz got the nod: he went to the right school (Harvard Law, class of '78), he knows the right people (Marriott CEO Bill Marriott is a friend), and he has managed multibillion-dollar portfolios. But Munoz doesn't simply fit the profile of the traditional corporate director: he's an expert on Latin America, where Marriott hopes to expand aggressively...
