...famed "Cap" Anson created a furor by taking his Chicago baseball team (including Evangelist Billy Sunday) to Hot Springs, Ark., to get ready for the opening of the season. Since then, spring training has been a baseball institution. Main purpose of spring training is not to recondition baseballers but to recondition baseball addicts, by reminding them that a new season is about to start, reviving their interest in the game. By last week, baseball addicts had had six weeks of training-camp news to assure them that the 1937 major-league season would start in Boston (Bees v. Phillies...
...because when I first started making movies, when I made Raiders of the Lost Ark, we stayed in theaters for a year. But now you're a hit and it stays in theaters for three months. I think there's such an appetite for different forms of entertainment, we can't depend on a big motion picture audience who isn't distracted by listening to your ipods, playing your interactive video games, watching television, going to concerts or just going to a restaurant and talking.

...judges. But their description of her suggested treatment as "charmingly skewed" hints that they found an even better reason in the dark twists of McCaughrean's own imaginative fiction. Her 2004 novel, Not the End of the World, for example, describes in grim and blanchmaking detail life aboard the Ark with the zealous Noah, while all around the world drowns. And in last year's White Darkness, the best friend of Sym, a 14-year-old girl who's chronically shy and hard of hearing, is the famous (and long-dead) Antarctic explorer Lawrence Oates.

TORNADO WARNINGS MADE KING FRET about his crowd, as ominous streaks of gray and purple crossed the sky from the west. Radio bulletins told of a seven o'clock twister that picked up and dumped a stretch of asphalt on cars near Star City, Ark., killing seven people, and the first squalls hit Memphis half an hour later in slanted sheets of rain. Phone calls from the Lorraine to Lawson in Mason Temple verified that the crowd indeed was thin--perhaps fewer than 2,000 in the huge hall that had packed seven times that many for King's visit...
