Figuring out just who will be hurt by the many reductions, and how badly, is a task complicated by endless partisan wrangling. Two examples: the $122 minimum monthly benefit paid to Social Security retirees will be phased out more quickly than most Democrats wanted...
...brash, self-possessed, life-of-the-party, winning and entirely wrong. Hildy is nearing middle age. He sees one last chance to break free, give up the tabloid follies of youth and settle down with wife, pipe, slippers and mother-in-law. Garrison's Hildy instead sees endless tomorrows.

The lazy summer inevitability that has always been one of baseball's charms (the continuum of it, the meticulous formality of its records, the lovely mythic accessibility of the sport's past to its present) now grew disheveled. Local TV stations ran ancient episodes of Gomer Pyle instead of ball games. Somewhere in a high-rise...
