Behind McFarlane on defense are captains Julie Twaddle of Newcastle, England and Jackie Hadden of Sydney, Australia, each with six goals this year. Between the posts is junior goalkeeper Sarah Reginio who earned a 2.70 goals against average in the 1998 season...
Nevertheless, the prejudice that we most firmly share with Luce and Hadden is a fundamental optimism. For them, optimism--a faith in progress--was not just a creed, it was a tactic for making things better. The challenges of a new millennium as well as today's fin-de-siecle scandals require that reporters be skeptical. But we must avoid the journalistic cynicism--as a pose, as a sophomoric attitude--that reigned in the '70s and '80s.

The magazine was still rigidly divided into such sections as Education or Sport or Press--a method of organizing the week's news that Briton Hadden and Henry Luce had invented roughly 40 years before. In the jacket copy of my novel, I'd acknowledged that I was the newsmagazine floater referred to as having tried "to escape an overlong stay in the Religion section by writing 'alleged' in front of any historically questionable religious event...
