...chemist tweaking a formula, Arena constantly adjusts strategy and lineup to capitalize on the strengths of the players who are available against the next opponent. "His best quality is man management," says backup goalkeeper Tony Meola, who played for Arena at the University of Virginia in the late '80s. "You get chosen for a reason, whether you're a hard-nosed tackler or a playmaker. And those are the things you do." That's not the way many international coaches work it.

Burnett segued into producing and, while helming more than 40 albums for such artists as Elvis Costello and Counting Crows, became...
Meyssan's scenario is goofy. How would the French have reacted to a crazy theory that the terrorist bombings in Paris during the '80s were the result of a French right-wing conspiracy to shake up the Socialist government?
