Zero-sum games create permanent enemies. The current zero-sum power game will produce tens of millions of losers if Harrington and Menino destroy Fenway Park. Instead, why not phase in an upper deck of perhaps 10,000 seats? Harrington gets expansion, Menino gets re-elected, the players remain rich and my nephew and I keep our memories. Fans and Fenway Park neighbors would prove patient with the ongoing reconstruction...
...fleet of five railcars make up the Sierra Madre Express. From the train's dome car, called the Tucson, and the Divisadero car, an open observation deck, you can gaze upon rivers with rushing waterfalls as well as lush bird life and wildflowers. For the eight-day, seven-night excursion, prices begin at $2,545, and you sleep two nights aboard plush, vintage cars with names like the Arizona and the Chile Verde.

...within 15 minutes. I ask Tony to place a marker for me and I get up to hit the restroom, the ATM and the smoking section of the casino floor. Gone for less than five minutes, I return to find Tony replaced by Annie, a shuffle of the 8-deck shoe in progress and the largest white man I have ever seen sitting in my spot. My marker is gone and in its place is $10 worth of his money. At first, I shoot my new friend a mean look. But, from beneath his Fubu ski cap, he shoots...
