...took the field Saturday at Lafayette. A team that had seven turnovers and was lucky to escape 1-1 in its first two games of the season turned things around with a solid, turnover-free performance that included its most balanced attack of the year. The bulk of the turnaround came from Harvard’s ability to protect and possess the football. After an abysmal deficit in possession time last weekend against Brown, the Crimson seemed to move the ball at will, holding the football for over nine minutes in multiple quarters. “I don?...

His elder brother, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, declared his loyalty to Brown, but he is seen as the front runner to replace the PM, and relations between the Foreign Office and Downing Street of late have been about as cordial as those between Britain and Russia.

Stitzer has also engineered a series of restructurings. Beginning in 2003, he sold off low-margin businesses, closed about a quarter of the company's factories and cut 10% of its workforce. But a series of missteps hindered the company's turnaround. Although Stitzer had projected annual margin growth of 50 to 75 basis points for four consecutive years, it came in at less than half that...
