Another great place for people-watching: Camden Yards, the greatest ballpark on earth. I go on a night when the O’s are playing the Anaheim Angels. Cal Ripken has recently been named All-Star MVP, and when he comes up to bat, we all fall silent, like it’s an audience with the Pope...
...kids. The indictment gathered force during the roaring '90s. A TIME/CNN poll finds that 80% of people think kids today are more spoiled than kids of 10 or 15 years ago, and two-thirds of parents admit that their kids are spoiled. In New York City it's the Bat Mitzvah where 'N Sync was the band; in Houston it's a catered $20,000 pink-themed party for 50 seven-year-old girls who all wore mink coats, like their moms.

"I feel great," Lasorda proclaimed. Feeling great is better than looking great...
...birthday cake read, "Happy Birthday Mr. President," and paid homage to Bush?s favorite sport: Baseball. The cake was decorated with an edible bat (wrapped with ribbons of red white and blue sugar) and mitt, which held a meringue baseball adorned with the letter W. After the party, the assemblage stood on the Truman balcony to watch fireworks on the mall...
