Looked at from a distance, it was clear the bullet-headed dealmaker Paulson was going to squeeze what he wanted out of Congress. Over the last six months, with the help of Tim Geithner at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve, he has driven Bear Stearns into the arms of J. P. Morgan at a fire sale price; he has forced the board of Fannie Mae to enable a government takeover even though it meant devastation for shareholders; he has stared down Richard Fuld at Lehman Brothers, who thought he could bluff Paulson...
...Lucky Ones Directed by Neil Burger; rated R; out now Back from Iraq, three soldiers--a career Army man (Tim Robbins), a cute hillbilly (Rachel McAdams) and a guy made impotent by shrapnel (Michael Peńa)--take the life lessons all road movies must provide.

...weekly Ivy League Honor Roll. Lorditch also warranted some serious consideration for that honor, as he grabbed four receptions to move the ball from Harvard into Holy Cross territory, ultimately resulting in Pizzotti’s game-winning touchdown run. Relative inexperience may have made Crimson coach Tim Murphy hesitate a bit when going to his young wideouts for big plays. But there was no doubt left in his mind after witnessing the fine showing the two sophomores posted, confirming his suspicions that Iannuzzi and Lorditch could be very prominent players as league play begins Saturday...
