...other side of the ball, after Gruber’s early fumble, the Holy Cross offense couldn’t muster anything against the Crimson defense. The unit that was supposed to miss its leader and anchor, Dante Balestracci ’04, looked perfectly in-sync with junior linebacker Matt Thomas and Everett flying all over the field. The linebacker duo combined for nine tackles and put constant pressure on O’Neil, who finished the day with only 70 yards in the air. The tandem twice forced the Crusaders’ quarterback to throw the ball before...
After Bush joined the Guard in Texas in 1968, he received positive evaluations. But records clearly show that his performance dropped off suddenly in 1972. After he transferred to an Alabama unit so he could work on the Senate campaign of a family friend, Bush began missing regular Guard duty. Only one member of Bush's unit has come forward to say he saw Bush reporting for duty in Alabama, but his recollection places Bush in the state before Bush was officially assigned there. A new TV commercial produced by the Democratic-allied group Texans for Truth features a member...

The Fallujah Brigade, a group of former Baathist officers whom the Marines armed and outfitted after the April standoff, has collapsed. Marine commanders say the unit is aiding the same rebels it was formed to fight. As a result, the city has become the country's most conspicuous "no go" zone for U.S. troops. American commanders can do little more than target the insurgent strongholds with air strikes, which tend also to kill civilians...
...archiving with speedy search engines. In August, Veritas Software paid $225 million for e-mail archiver KVS, while fellow archiver Zantaz snapped up Steelpoint Technologies; both acquired companies provide e-discovery services to many a blue-chip client. E-mail archiver iLumin has also just created a discovery-services unit, which has attracted four of the five largest banks, with a filter that allows messages with questionable content to be quarantined for review...
