...Suzuki, a seven-time batting champion with the Orix Blue Wave team of Kobe, signed a three-year contract with Seattle for slightly more than $14 million. He had a relatively quiet spring training, batting a decent but unspectacular .308. Some quickly proclaimed him an expensive disappointment...
...Americans find themselves in the unaccustomed position of being the injured party. But eventually, when they have got a grip on the terrorist threat and return to calmer moments, they are going to have to give intelligent thought to turning their money and freedom to more decent, more responsible purposes.

By most counts then, this is hardly the ideal time to release a live album, despite the ’Head’s recent successful tour.
