...touchdown passes, while leading the moribund St. Louis Rams to a Super Bowl victory. Warner won the regular season and Super Bowl MVP awards, and two years later, in 2001, he won another MVP while throwing for nearly 5,000 yards. The Rams, nicknamed "The Greatest Show on Turf," reached the Super Bowl again, though they lost to the New England Patriots...
...tracks the Treasury proposals; Geithner's aides say they got at least 80% of what they wanted, including the stand-alone consumer agency, an easy-to-understand innovation for Americans who think mortgages and credit cards should be as safe as toasters.

And Honduras - a strategic transit point for U.S.-bound cocaine - has become ensnared in the vicious turf wars among Mexican trafficking cartels and those among Colombian producers. The turmoil in Honduras also reflects the impact of the U.S. drug war on the region's political divisions. Hours before his death, Gonzalez gave a news conference in which he accused the leftist Venezuelan government of turning a blind eye to Colombian guerrillas moving cocaine into Central America...
