...walk up the stairs and Caroline, her Bosox cap on backwards, grows more excited with each step. I watch her closely as we emerge at the top and she sees the field, dotted with players. "Oooooh," she says, and looks up at her mother with a big smile. Perfect. I have planned perfectly. Caroline's first game is already a stunning success, a big W for Daddy...
...perhaps, ten minutes later when the hand lands on my shoulder. Usually this means, "Hey Buddy, could you pass this fiver to the hot dog guy," or if at Yankee Stadium, "Hey, Buddy, take that Sox cap off or I'll take it off for ya!".

Modern tech funds--devoted to Silicon Valley--didn't spring up until the '80s, when tech was more than 10% of the S&P 500 market cap and on its way to 30% by 1999. (Today it is 19%.)

It also limits suits to the federal system and puts a $500,000 cap on damages. Republicans argue the Democrats' bill would leave health plans open to catastrophic legal costs and raise the price of insurance premiums, forcing employers to drop coverage. In the end, the White House argues, the unlimited-damages approach could leave millions of Americans without insurance. (Democrats contend their plan would cost just 37 cents...
