...LeLacheur Park is, clearly, lovely: a sweet little brick 4,700-seater placed as softly as a Texas Leaguer at a riverbend that spent a hundred years waiting for a ballfield. I head for Will Call as Luci, with her sixth sense about shopping, heads for Souvenirs, which is taking its signal to close from the National Anthem, now being sung. The young man locking the door lets her in, and I join the others after picking up our tickets. Caroline, of course, wants everything in sight. I veto a small bat, which I imagine her using on her infant...
...Microsoft was never an intentional ogre; it was just a company that grew very big, very fast, very aggressively and never had any adults around in the playground to bring it down to size.

...Unofortunately for the monument?s opponents, the race to halt its construction appears to have hit a brick wall. When the House of Representatives voted a second time to approve expedited construction work on the memorial, they were simply punctuating a previous vote; the previous week, the body agreed 400-15 to move the construction forward despite legal challenges filed by opposition groups. The Senate has also voted to speed up the building process, and President Bush has added his support for current plans...
