...Yankees obsession may seem foolish, especially in light of such an amazing championship, but it also makes some sense. Painful losses-like the Aaron Boone moment of 2003-often seem like the relative that no one wants to talk about. Chalk up enough of those, as the Red Sox have, and the frustration is bound to seep out somewhere. For the Boston fans, the Yankees plot line adds to the sense of justice and fairness that so many felt after winning it all.

...Muay Thai Warrior, the stunt man-turned-actor leaps across boiling oil, ballets above an array of tuk tuks and beats up anyone foolish enough to challenge him.

No. Certainly not economic. Eight of the top 10 shows in all of television are shown on CBS. That's an extraordinary record that can't be overlooked because of this incident. And what advertisers buy are programs...
...center of a series of contrived scenarios. The fictional Wali’s sudden declaration that the 9/11 attacks are attributable to American foreign policy choices is a perfunctory nod to political debate. Later, his decision to voice his skittishness in a meeting with hostile arms dealers is implausibly foolish...
