...long-term remedies, as well as the financial damages presumably owed Gibson and the rest. As Baseball Union Boss Donald Fehr interprets the ruling, "Some people might say the owners have been convicted and are waiting to be sentenced." For the moment, however, the football players have a clearer understanding of the price of freedom...
...this book help me to be clearer in spirit, simpler in thought, greater in love." Unlikely as it may seem, so begin the voluminous diaries of one of modern history's most diabolical figures: Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for the Third Reich. Despite these noble intentions, the entry soon reveals the ugly disposition of the man who became a fanatical member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle.

Motionless before the mating eland. The memory clicks on and off. The older the anecdote, the clearer in detail. Typical of her much analyzed years, she will forget the sentence before last but in the next will come up with a name from 1923 and a Gershwin lyric that, once sung, swims her back into a world she really occupied...
