...Though Rodriguez' contract certainly makes Donald Fehr and Gene Orza, the heads of the players union, giddy, they cannot in good conscience say that there is not a problem--presuming, of course, Fehr and Orza have a conscience. Watch when October hits for owners to put together a salary cap or a serious luxury tax proposal to do something to limit salaries--or force a team to accept tradeoffs if they overspend on a free agent...

Just as the U.S. is grappling with the problem of how to meet its international promise to reduce global warming, the first hybrid gasoline-electric cars are hitting the U.S. market. Though these green machines, a major advance in automobile engineering, are getting off to a slow start, down the road they may yet compete bumper to bumper with gas-only cars...
