...Yankee Centurion. It's hard to capture the feeling of exaltation a player like Lynn can create, how he can--man versus ball--extend the horizons of human potential, at least during the brief span of a game.

Runcie is the first Archbishop of Canterbury to be selected this way, rather than through a series of political consultations.
