But when faith in the friend and the friendship is confronted with hideous facts about the past, what are the limits of forgiveness? I'd say to hell with the politician and to hell with the collaborator...
...million a year in 1976; shock when one-dimensional Jose Canseco became the game's salary king at $4.7 million in 1990; disbelief when pitcher Kevin Brown signed a seven-year, $105 million deal in '98.
