Boswell has a case. Consider the stats: On average, the opposing team gets about two earned runs a game on Maddux--2.03, to be exact, since 1992, which is the lowest mark over such a long period in the postwar era. In 1994 his earned-run average was just 1.56. So far this year, it's 1.57. Sandy Koufax never had such a good year. Nor did Nolan Ryan. In fact, only two pitchers in modern baseball have: Bob Gibson (1.12 in 1968) and Dwight Gooden...
Royce Clayton, 60, who has worked at the same exact machine for 23 years, goes fishing in his mind every day. That hook he brings down off the crane, to load the underground elbow of the hydrant onto a machine that bores holes into it, might as well be the hook at the end of a line he drops into Guntersville Lake.

The burial island will be off-limits to visitors, and the exact location of the grave is not marked. But visitors will be able to stand at the water's edge, look at the house, tour a museum (built in former stables) and view Diana's schoolgirl letters, her princess outfits and her stunning 1981 silk bridal dress.

Rumor: Giuliani is nuts. Fact: The mayor has never been declared psychotic by any reputable mental-health professional or committed to any institution for the criminally insane. Though some of his ruder detractors call him a bullying, paranoid "control freak," many experts believe that is the exact personality type required to run a city as rude as New York. Besides, the mayor does not call reporters and other enemies "jerky," "stupid," "silly" and "not really that intelligent" unless they actually are. He has correctly stated, "I pride myself in displaying good judgment about people...
