...deal of it. Gene had gravity. His power would burrow up from the floor, through his powerful thighs, up to his strong, sloping shoulders; and he?d hit those tap steps hard, nailing them, pounding them into the floor so hard they almost left permanent depression marks in the wood. You saw the grinding work, as much as the fun, in Kelly?s favorite maneuvers. Some of them - like the chop step with straight, churning arms, or the bit in "Singin? in the Rain" where he briskly windmills his arms - could be adapted to a power-workout regimen. Kelly could...
...tour ended at the Leonard Wood Memorial in Memorial Church, dedicated to Harvard Medical School graduate and Medal of Honor recipient Major General Leonard Wood (1860-1927), who is also the namesake of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where Flowers is stationed.

...wanted to find the ex-Taliban deputy interior minister, all they had to do was ask the baker at Kabul's diplomatic enclave of Wazir Akbar Khan.

The company first warmed to him because of his support for deregulation. Last week Lay's 1994 "Dear George" letter endorsing Wood was made public. After receiving the letter, Bush appointed Wood to the Texas Public Utility Commission. To Enron...
When Bush moved to the White House, Lay promoted Wood's appointment to the FERC. (Bush admired Wood and might have appointed him anyway.) Lay then spoke to FERC chairman Curtis Hebert, a Republican. Hebert says Lay warned that he should take a more aggressive approach to deregulation or risk losing Enron's support. Lay denies Hebert's claim. But Bush did name Wood as the FERC's chairman, and Hebert resigned. Later, under public pressure to impose price caps on California electricity, Wood joined in a unanimous vote to do so, a position Enron opposed. Now the FERC...
