...game of errors and redemption. It is a game that keeps track of mistakes and features them as part of the official line score--runs, hits, errors. Pete Rose made the ultimate error by betting on baseball while he was managing the Cincinnati Reds in the late '80s. Although he consistently denied his guilt, he accepted a lifetime ban from the game. For the next 14 years, Rose continued to publicly deny that he had ever bet on baseball. The arrival last week of his new book, in which he finally confessed, stunned the baseball world. Rose wants to persuade...
...CRASH WAS CAUSED BY A WHITE FIAT, POSSIBLY DRIVEN BY A BRITISH AGENT. Traces of paint found on the wreck suggest that it glanced off a white Fiat made in the '80s, and a pair of witnesses saw such a car in the tunnel where the crash occurred. But plotting a crash would have been hard since the couple decided where they were going just a few minutes before hopping into their car. And would agents really use a decade-old jalopy as a murder weapon? Of course, that might be the true genius of the plan...

The academic experts' voice-overs backfired to make sex seem even more animalistic and desperate. Furthermore, the term advanced sexual...
...about declining sexuality. Freud was sure female sexuality ended at menopause--a time, he huffed, when women become petty, stingy and sadistic and acquire other "anal-erotic" traits. But the evidence suggests quite the opposite. "Many [seniors] still want and seek orgasms when they're in their 70s and 80s," says Dr. Kevan Namazi, former chair of the gerontology department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas...
...real star is Trump, who commits a surprising amount of time to the camera. A little jowlier than you may remember from his '80s heyday yet still imposing, he's a stiff narrator but comes alive in the "boardroom," site of the climactic firing meetings, charming his candidates one minute, curtly smacking them down the next. Trump and Burnett, trying to distinguish The Apprentice as the brainy reality alternative, like to say there is "no dating" on it. That's not true. The men and women alike try to win Trump's heart, to learn what moves him, to find...
