Catcher Jeff Waldron stroked Nyweide's next pitch to right, comfortably clearing the 30-foot-high scoreboard behind the fence, and the rout...
...forget the speeches last Tuesday, the confetti and that awful, foot-high award that baseball made up just so Bud Selig could have a reason to be onstage. (The Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award? Did someone come up with that during the game?) Forget that apple-pie groundskeeper kid who caught the ball, for which somebody had offered $1 million, and gave it up straightaway. No, instead, look at the details.

Well, the secretary of state's mission ? which she chose to accept ? was to spend ten hours a day in closed-door security briefings, cart home a foot-high stack of books on the region. Now she must fly to Israel, and shuttle back and forth between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Arafat in an attempt to cool the war of words that has exploded between the two. Monday's rounding up of Islamic militants by Palestinian security teams...
