...Curse of the Bambino means nothing. Despite the deja vu that accompanied the agony of one more missed opportunity for glory, Red Sox fans might actually have somewhere other than Babe Ruth on which to lay at least a portion of the burden of blame this year. From beginning to end, the 1999 post-season has been a showcase for the fallibility of many of the sport's officials, with umpires reaching a new pinnacle of incompetence during the Sox-Yankees series...
...Yogi Berra, a man who frustrated plenty of Dodger and Red Sox teams, once said, it's deja vu all over again. Imagine the events which transpired fifty-eight years ago, before America experienced the horror of World War II, when a nation still transfixed by Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak and Ted Williams' .406 average turned its ears to the Fall Classic...

When the New Beetle was unveiled in 1998, the cough-drop-on-wheels was touted as the ultimate antidote to the ennui of the under-40 crowd. It was deja vu all over again: here was the "Love Bug," the charmingly rotund little symbol of all things flower-power, updated for the era of power-lunches. The folks at Volkswagen hoped to invoke the freewheeling Age of Aquarius (when most yuppies were too young or to stoned to care), making every yupster on the planet...
