...sensing pro football's glittering future. That potential is personified by Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski) who has it all: he's a war hero, a snake-hipped runner and cute as all get out. He is a version of Red Grange, who came out of Illinois, signed a huge contract with the Chicago Bears and began the economic and social transformation of the game; the road to the Super Bowl started, however primitively, with Grange...
...fact, rights advocates inside and outside China say a string of recent convictions and the imprisoning of activists all over the country are just the latest in a yearlong, wide-ranging crackdown designed to stifle even the slightest sign of dissent ahead of the Games. Even China's huge online population of some 230 million, which is often cited as the country's most powerful force for greater openness, has felt the heat.

...Rendell won the governor's job in 2002 on an electoral strategy that looked far more like Obama's than Clinton's. In the Democratic primary, he carried only 10 of the state's 67 counties but racked up huge margins in Philadelphia and its relatively liberal suburbs. That was enough to beat Bob Casey Jr.-the party establishment's pick in the primary for the job and now a Senator-by a hefty 14-point margin...
