Moon Over Miami. The Yankees used to spend spring training chasing the moon over Miami. No more. Warned Keane: "A cocktail before dinner is all right. Getting plastered, no."

For the young man belonged to the Ripon Society, and you can count on one finger the number of nice things the Society has had to say about the Arizona conservative. But perhaps the young man should have been more persistent. He really should have tried to thank Barry. For Barry's bungling campaign...
