...Cecil B. DeMille would have fun with this epic. Naturally Charlton Heston plays Coach Murphy. Michael Crichton '64 (MD '69) would write the screenplay...
...asylum, Irabu was welcomed by his new teammates. "Hey, what's up, man?" third baseman Charlie Hayes said upon meeting Irabu. "He's a big old boy," said Cecil Fielder, the Yankees' gargantuan slugger. Indeed, Irabu is 6 ft. 3 in. and 240 lbs., wears a size 52 jacket and pants with a 40-in. waist.

...mixed family--Protestant, Catholic--and I've seen what religion has done around here, and I'm just nervous of it. But there's one church that if I was living close by I'd definitely be in the congregation. [It's] in San Francisco--Glide Memorial. Rev. Cecil Williams there looks after the homeless, gays, straights; he marched with Martin Luther King, he's funny as hell--pardon the pun--and you can get an HIV test during the service. Now that's my kind of church...
