...That's the good news: the tectonic plates that have locked Kashmir into stagnation, decline and death seem to be shifting. For the first time, the people who actually live there are being consulted, albeit unofficially. In a bid to get peace talks under way, India has said that it is ready to let some of the self-appointed political leaders of the separatist cause known as the All Parties Hurriyat Conference travel to Pakistan to meet with militant leaders and Pakistani officials...

And yet, despite this dubious omission, Toronto boasted the highest paid player ever, albeit for a short amount of time. Delgado's signing was, moreover, just three years after the Blue Jays went out and bagged Roger Clemens off the free agent market and away from the Boston Red Sox--a club which, incidentally, Volonnino did include as one of baseball's five-to-eight...
