Pick a moment, any moment, to remember: Jones' second home run in Game 1, Torre's heart-to-heart talk with David Cone in Game 3, Steve Avery's 3-2 pitch to Wade Boggs with the bases loaded in the 10th inning of Game 4, the rope by Luis Polonia that froze an entire nation with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of Game 5--and the wall-banging celebration of Paul O'Neill after he caught the ball at the last instant.

Now, however, they can simply plug the opening with a cone-shaped mesh device. Plugging rather than patching the hole causes less strain on the surrounding tissue and reduces the extent of both surgery and recovery time...
...from running over the cliff. It is a strategy designed to recast the image of government: instead of the supercilious bureaucrat with mountains of paper and regulations, government now becomes the safety-patrol volunteer, the lifeguard, the friendly cop on the beat buying a lost child an ice cream cone before calling his worried parents...
