...were the Hebrew words from Job, "Earth do not cover my blood," on the memorial wreath presented by the commission. Oddly, it was two non-Jews who did most to recollect the past.

In a memorable display of baseball theater, Weaver last month waxed so wroth during a fight with an umpire that he literally tore up the rulebook.
