Nice and inoffensive is not quite the praise of unadulterated genius that the Beatles used to garner, but it is enough to get McCartney around the world. His tour includes 14 countries and Mother Britain, but one has to wonder how the show will fare in nations not so nostalgic for the Sixties, Beatlemania, and adolescence. But as McCartney winds up his U.S. leg of the tour, there's no doubt the affection American audiences have for this member of the Fab Four.

They are rarely seen at work in public, and their genius comes from an ability to blend a variety of ingredients into a new creation that enhances each product.

"But I can't get you ten to 15 people who can communicate with 25 ballplayers." Cashen looks like a genius for his decision to replace Johnson with third-base coach Buddy Harrelson. In the ensuing six weeks the Mets have gone from Bart Simpson underachievers to the Shea-hey kids, winning 70% of their games, including a streak of eleven in a row.
