...Mariners pretty quickly. Most Seattle fans were seeing the writing on the wall by about the third inning Monday night—maybe even sooner, if you consider Lou Piniella’s pea-brained decision to start Aaron Sele (0-6 lifetime in the postseason) over Freddy Garcia in a must-win game at The Stadium. What was he thinking...
...Young candidates in the American League, and frankly, they are pretty compelling. Oakland’s Mark Mulder had more wins (21) with a better ERA. He also threw six complete games, four for shutouts; Clemens didn’t go the distance once. Seattle’s Freddy Garcia had an ERA almost half a run lower than Clemens (3.05 to 3.51), while holding opposing hitters to a league-low .225 average. You might even make a case for Clemens’ teammate, Mike Mussina, who came within one out of a perfect game and finished the year with...
...civilian casualties are a constant of war, so is politics. In that respect Afghanistan is no different from anywhere else. The air campaign makes the point. Last week's bombing was carried out by the B-2s from Whiteman, B-1 and B-52 planes based on Diego Garcia--a tiny island in the Indian Ocean--and Navy F-18s flying off the U.S.S. Carl Vinson and U.S.S. Enterprise. Cruise missiles were fired from surface vessels and submarines (including, on the first night of the attacks, a British one). The attacks hit more than 60 targets, such as air-defense...

...Easy: international politics. To conduct the war in Afghanistan, Washington needs allies in the region. Bombers can fly from Diego Garcia and aircraft carriers, but the helicopters vital for close-in work?to say nothing of the soldiers who will do it?generally need bases nearer to the action. So far, the U.S. has made more headway than expected; last week Washington signed a forces agreement with Uzbekistan allowing for the long-term stationing of American troops and aircraft in the Central Asian country. Khanabad, an air base 125 miles north of the Afghan border, has become the staging-post...
