...Ripken was also lucky. Lucky enough not to have gone down with a broken leg, like the A's Jermaine Dye in last year's playoffs - or, for that matter, like Gehrig in 1939, with the death sentence of amyotrophic sclerosis. Late in his career, even in the first stages of the disease that would be named after him, Gehrig was still a potent offensive player, leading the league in on-base percentage and home runs...
...Nash's best poems, or at least those that the editor Louis Untermeyer thought were funny. Thus began the Nashomania Of a 10-year-old at 6910 Heyward Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While other kids sat soldered to a TV set that pummeled them with Ovaltine commercials and hair-dye ads, I curled up with Nash's couplets, quatrains, limericks and occasional jeremiads. While other boys wore their Captain Video T shirts, Howdy Doody kerchiefs and other haberdashery, I sported my Ogdennashery. I found that I could make the most obstreperous classmate behave By reciting a Nash limerick, like this laundered...
Eggleston still lives in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was born in 1939, and has been taking pictures since 1957. In the 1970s he went into color in a big way, using the dye transfer process that allowed him to tinker with hues. Fortunately for him it was a time when people surrounded themselves with bright colors and lurid patterns.

...January 2001 but was scuttled by new management after the merger that created AOL Time Warner (which owns TNT and TIME). This year Bravo bought all 13 episodes--at a deep discount. But despite being shot before 9/11, Ashleigh Banfield's dye job, Greta Van Susteren's eye job and Paula Zahn's "zipper" ad, News doesn't play like old news. Like E.R., whose frenzied pace it emulates, News nails the jargon and the adrenaline rush of its subject. And the series pays admirable attention to the dangers of synergy-spawned conflicts of interest and corporate meddling in today...
...Earlier this year, Japan cheerily predicted a $25 billion boost to its economy from the Cup. Yes, sales of televisions are up, as are hair-dye sales, inspired by the footballers' technicolor 'dos. But otherwise, few industries are reporting windfalls, and the $25 billion figure looks about as wishful as Japan's recent claims that its recession has finally bottomed out. In South Korea, tourism is actually down compared with last year's, due to Sept. 11 jitters and because thousands of Japanese visitors stayed home?all counter to inflated estimates from the Tourism Ministry just a month ago. Other...
