...technological accomplishment, the three-man mission had a 1960s twang. During his 13-minute sortie outside the Shenzhou VII capsule, Zhai Zhigang demonstrated the effectiveness of a Chinese spacesuit, retrieved a rack attached to the outside of the capsule that was part of a lubricants test, had a "Greetings, earthlings" cameo (Zhai's actual words: "Greetings to all the people of the nation and all the people of the world") and brandished a Chinese flag...
...that, the former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude (''Baby Doc'') Duvalier, 35, insisted last week in an ABC interview from his rented villa on the French Riviera that he could not be blamed for the plight of his country. But back home in Baby Doc's impoverished Caribbean nation, the three-man ruling National Council of Government, led by Lieut. General Henri Namphy, 53, seemed to be having a hard time holding the country together. The latest troubles began last month when the Information Ministry hired a sports reporter who had been a favorite of the exiled Duvalier to broadcast commentary...
...play with than in the past. Its annual acquisition budget has jumped from $4.5 million in 2004 to $36 million last year. Changes to French tax law in 2003 have helped: companies now have big fiscal incentives to make donations. But Loyrette has also built out the tiny three-man fund-raising department that Rosenberg set up in the late '90s into a full-time operation with 19 staffers. And the Louvre is about to launch a U.S.-style endowment fund - the first in France - using the money from the Abu Dhabi deal to ensure it can finance a bevy...
...left only the Dutch happy. But that in no way reduced the comprehensive nature of Holland's victory. Holland's 4-2-3-1 formation is built for maximum attacking speed. And Italy's defense, without its captain Fabio Cannavaro, couldn't handle the pressure, especially with its own three-man midfield. There was no controversy on the second goal, just awe, as Dirk Kuyt, filling in for the injured Arjen Robben, collected a long pass on the right after a breakout and found Sneijder racing to the near post. Sneijder's volley left Italian keeper Gianluigi Buffon...
...grueling pair of back-to-back two-day missions in one of the country's most dangerous regions. The men would hike at night with 150-lb. rucksacks, crossing several marshy canals with chest-high water to reach their destination by dawn. They would then break into two- or three-man teams to conduct surveillance all day under the 120-degree sun with only three or four liters of water per person. Throughout, the soldiers often slept no more than 15 minutes at a time. By the fourth day, still deep in hostile territory, the ailing five-man squad consolidated...
