After her '92 cookie gaffe, in which she asserted she'd had better things to do, as a Governor's wife, than bake cookies for Chelsea and Bill, she took to compensatory cookie making on an industrial scale.

"If I can't be a baseball fan," he said practically, "I'll probably switch to golf." All over America, empty baseball diamonds bake with dust as the Jeremy-and-Nick generation sinks putts, shoots hoops, kicks soccer balls or just hangs out at the mall. Baseball is losing the young (the last time a World Series game was played during daytime was 1987), and a lengthy strike will only hasten the exodus...
