At that point, United Chairman Harry Gray, a shrewd takeover dealer, decided "it wasn't in the interest of our shareholders to pay any higher fare for the bus ride." His pullout left the little-known McDermott (it makes offshore drilling rigs) the winner of the takeover battle of the year...
Wearing a sandwich board saying FUTURE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, Frier McCollister, 17, has been walking the sidewalks of Chicago's chic Michigan Avenue this summer with a pewter mug in his hand.

For sociobiologists the trick in becoming an evolutionary winner is to hit just the right level of aggression. Too little, and the organism may be muscled out by competitors. Too much, and it may die in battle without reproducing, or use up time and energy in fighting while competitors steal its food or mate. Aggression, in other words, pays...
