...memorabilia is going up. Walter Johnson was the greatest pitcher of his day, but what do we know about him? What do we know about Cy Young except for the trophy? What do we know about Eddie Collins? They were nice guys - and it's too hard to write books about nice guys. Fifty years from now, Bonds is going to be the cool badass dude. The future generations are going to say: Why does Grandpa get a bleeding ulcer every time I mention his name? Eventually, we get away from the emotion. Right now I hope it gets...
Animal-rights defenders also have found a well-placed ally in Cristina Narbona, Spain's Environment Minister. Narbona, herself the daughter of a bullfighting expert - her father used to write a regular newspaper column about the sport - does not hide her distaste for bullfights. "I am deeply ashamed of living in a country with such a tradition", she said last year at a meeting of her Socialist Party Barcelona.

Within decades, maybe far sooner, the old trade route from Tibet to India will be revived in far different form, Tata trucks rumbling over the ancient paths on which yaks once marched...
...though these situations that are tougher than many of us could ever imagine." Abusive women were more likely to be Caucasian than Hispanic or black, suggesting that there may be differences in the way white mothers cope with stress compared with black or Hispanic moms; the study's authors write that the racial difference may have to do with the mother's employment status or her willingness to ask for outside help. In contrast, male spouses showed no increase in maltreatment when their wives were deployed...
