...paradoxical way, yesterday's classic marked the flip side of Wells's personality--the Everyman. This balding, overweight, middle-aged man, who has more than his fair share of doppelgangers in the Yankee Stadium stands, lived out every fan's fantasy, a collective dream of transcendent excellence...

Last week financial-services giants Travelers Group and Citicorp agreed to the largest merger in history, a stock swap worth some $76 billion. It's a titanic marriage that will dwarf everything else in banking, brokerages, insurance, ATMs, cold calls, lollipops, hamburgers and chutzpah. It makes the size of the next biggest merger, the pending $42 billion deal between MCI and WorldCom announced last October, look cheesy...
