Describing his Marine sappers’ breaching of the Iraqi line, the American commander remarked, “Absolutely superb operation, textbook, and I think it will be studied for many years.” The British commander, Gen. Peter de la Billiere, was more fulsome still: “We are, today, at the end of perhaps one of the greatest victories we have ever experienced....

No one tops inmate Lemieux. With his former team in bankruptcy, Lemieux concluded that the only way to get the $27.5 million in back salary he was owed was to take control of the Penguins. The former star’s whopping pay made him one of the team’s biggest creditors. In late June a judge approved his plan to bail out the Penguins by converting the debt into an ownership stake. Lemieux is expected to complete his lineup of additional investors and more than 1,000 pages of legal agreements this week, putting the final pieces in place for him to become the first star in modern times to own a major-league club....
