...Let’s,” my sports-ignorant self replies, not remembering anything of this game’s rules from the last time I played it, only a week prior. Not that I really care.

...Stevens and correspondent Andrea Dorfman. As part-time historians, our journalists are following a Time Inc. tradition. It was 50 years ago that our founder Henry Luce made a donation that launched The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, the Yale-based project that is about to produce its 37th volume. Ten more volumes are expected. We hope you'll find our portrait of the man as fascinating as he was prolific...
