...following night, after he was declared the series' Most Valuable Player, * Avery got baptized in champagne he was barely old enough to purchase legally. And the Pirates, who carried the curse of being the best National League team for the past two seasons, were left to dwell on the melancholy baseball maxim, "Losing hurts more than winning feels good...

Egypt's domestic opposition to the war was milder than Syria's, but explosions of anti-U.S. protest broke out at several Egyptian universities last week. Mubarak also faces a relatively long engagement in the gulf: while all the Arab armies had forsworn...
