...said that Blackwill told him that “he decided to stay in the government because the President appealed to him for help. He wound up handling the highly difficult portfolio for Iraq on the National Security Council...
...pitch off an ankle tendon sewn in place to keep it from wobbling out of its torn sheath. He pinned down the Yankees in the sixth game, a 4-2 win in the House That Ruth Built. As Schilling worked the Yankee lineup, blood leached from the wound, turning his sock red. Holy metaphor! Then Lowe, who won the clinching game in all three postseason rounds, threw nothing but worm balls as the Sox won 10-3 in the decider. With that kind of momentum, did the Cards stand a chance...

The abductees returned to Japan for a 10-day visit that wound up being permanent after they declined to return, but Jenkins had stayed behind in the North with his two daughters. In the past two years, Soga has become a heroine in Japan. When Koizumi returned to Pyongyang a second time, he personally told Jenkins he would do everything he could to assure...
