...Denial About Immigration? Michael Kinsley's article on immigration is enlightening, but it doesn't address the core problem: What should we do with the millions of illegal immigrants who are already in our country [Dec. 17]? It would be easy to think that we could wipe the slate clean, send everyone home, establish a threshold for the number of immigrants we want and create an orderly process for admission. Obviously, this will never happen. Why not admit that allowing illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. provides cheap labor to fuel our country's economic growth? Illegal immigrants are here...
...McGuire has been similarly exposed in the light of his extremely productive later seasons as a home run hitter. But not until now have we had overwhelming proof that steroid use is endemic to the sport and its stars. In fact, some players named in the report have come clean after the fact, like Yankees star pitcher Andy Pettitte. Others, however, continue to deny use. But quibbling about what types of drugs were used and when and by whom, is a distraction from the larger truth: professional baseball long ago ceased to be a contest of athleticism. A large part...
...last piece, excerpts from Act I of “La Bayadère,” was quite lackluster as well.

At one point, Lynch even took an unfortunate...
...been clean now for years, just like a lot of those baseball players. I'm glad the truth has come out and Major League Baseball is finally owning up to what everyone in the game has known for years. As for the writers, they're busy fulminating about how the game and the fans have been betrayed by the players that everyone looked up to. It makes me laugh thinking about how much outrage they can conjure, about how quickly their thoughts are turned to print and posts. Much too quickly. Me, I'm trying to type as fast...
...Cutting one's hair is not new among Sikhs, but the number of turbanless, clean-shaven Sikhs has grown astronomically in the last two decades. "Thanks to the onslaught of satellite TV, there's a drive towards mainstreaming," says Gill. "Women aspire to marry men who look like Bollywood stars, and men aspire to look like the men these women want. 'The look', unfortunately, doesn't include a turban." As young people travel far for work, they feel less obligated to adhere to the demands of their culture. Jitender Singh Sandhu, a young management professional who hails from Punjab...
