...seen in the final two games of the series, and in so many other memorable moments—Roger Clemens’ ejection in the 1990 American League Championship Series, the ground ball trickling through Bill Buckner’s legs during the 1986 World Series, the unlikely Bucky Dent lofting a lazy fly ball over the Green Monster in 1978, the late-inning collapse in Game Seven of the 1975 World Series—is well-known as the Curse of the Bambino...

Unemployment is still high enough to dent consumer sentiment (which dipped in February, incidentally, for the first time in five months) and it'll probably keep going up until the recovery really is here. Will those with jobs be able to stay optimistic that they'll keep theirs? Have enough of the laid-off been coasting on severance packages to keep spending as if they had jobs?
