...case of the exam-fatigued Harvard women's basketball team, the early success set the Crimson back. Harvard's once solid defense fell completely apart and its shooting went cold as Albany outscored the struggling Crimson 40-14 over the next 20 minutes...
Then, just as quickly, it fell apart. Wondering why Bradley's public schedule had been so light earlier in the week, ABC News correspondent Jackie Judd asked a simple question: Had Bradley experienced any more episodes of heart arrhythmia, the chronic (but not life-threatening) irregular heartbeat he'd made public last December?

"The key factor in the company's performance...
...closer to the consumer in its various global markets. Atlanta was criticized last year for reacting too slowly to a series of consumer crises in Europe, which dented the company's image. "It may be a good strategy for the new CEO to take the big bath in one fell swoop and then move on," says Saporito. "But it's obviously going to be a huge blow in Atlanta." Indeed, some 2,500 residents of that city may soon not feel much like buying the world a Coke...
