Then the fox realized that a small flock of lambs lived among the sheep at the cliff, and he decided that when lambs grew up to be sheep they didn't want to live with other lambs. So the fox ordered all the lambs to live in the yard, behind the big green hedge...
...think it's a great trade," said Cliff Keane of the Boston Herald-American as he popped the top off a beer and sat down at a table with some other sportswriters and Red Sox coaches. "Locke-Ober South," the food-and-drink bar set up in the press lounge, was keeping the sportswriters all juiced...
