...Tigers' sole nod to their lameness was hiring Mike Veeck, the son of Bill Veeck, the Hall of Fame owner who organized the disco-album bonfire at Comiskey Park in the '70s, to do their promotions. So they did have Duct Tape Night, Magic Night with illusionist Aaron Radatz, a Christian concert after an Angels game and Baseball Card Blitz, where kids under 15 got to trample one another on a field littered with 50,000 packs of baseball cards. But Veeck didn't go far enough. First of all, he should have removed the Tigers from those baseball-card...
...home, our leadership continues to peddle fear. The new Department of Homeland Security whipped up enough fear of chemical attacks that there was a run on tarp and duct tape.

You can live on the edge only for so long before you drink the bottled water and use the duct tape for packages and just hope for the best. A CNN/TIME poll last week found people worrying more about the economy than terrorism. Yet more than half of all Americans think things are not back to normal and never will be. It has become easy to wonder whether the President has done too little to protect the country...
...hype, but some will improve our sense of safety. Because terrorists can pick targets anywhere, counterterrorism has to defend everywhere--from airports to office buildings to cargo ships to hospitals. Sept. 11 shed an urgent light on our vulnerabilities and galvanized us to protect ourselves with something better than duct tape. So get ready for the next wave of high-tech defense: radiation detectors, Internet safeguards, handheld anthrax "sniffers." There's no panacea, but in a world of ancient hatreds, modern shields still have their uses. Here's what's next in three key areas...
