...baseball statistician known for focusing on obscure data to evaluate talent. Both have adopted the Washington Nationals. But their deep loyalties reach beyond the Beltway--to two teams with frustrating histories. Greenspan is a New York Mets fan; Bernanke pulls for the Boston Red Sox.

With this popularizing cover, Randall charts the history behind current theoretical physics, moving from Newton to Einstein to string theory to her own work.

That would put a total of 5 out of 12 major airlines in bankruptcy (United, US Airways and ATA are already there). The same fate may await Independence Air, a small Virginia-based start-up that has been instrumental in driving fares down over the past year...
