...It’s often the case that someone gets put off as the sacrificial lamb, when the president needs to show something, that he’s taking action,” she said. When Card was ushered out and replaced by former presidential budget director Joshua B. Bolten, political analysts in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other national publications speculated that the administration might have been trying to signal that it was ready for fresh thinking about divisive issues, such as the conflict in Iraq. “I’m not saying...
...Times will only pay its half of the cost for a limited time, and come 2008 it is raising the cost of its educational subscriptions by five cents.

It is twice as long as a normal game was in the early 20th century. In 1920, a 26-inning game—that’s almost three normal games in a row—ended after three hours and 50 minutes. Even by 1943, the American League average game length was still just one hour, 58 minutes...
