curveball

It ended up being the first kidney stone of his life—which was this unbelievable curveball.

We sat in a tiny pizzeria in Milan and strategized about how to turn my curves into a curveball.

I passed this information to senior management and had one of my best officers pull together the entire Curveball file.

This fell to me, as the Chief of Europe; it was the first time I had heard of Curveball.

Finally, in March 2004 the Europeans relented and we sent one of our very best field officers to debrief Curveball.
