...serious competition. Ruth nearly invented the home run, and remains second only to Hank Aaron in career homers. His teams won more than their share--more even than Jordan's share--of championships. As an offensive force, Ruth utterly dominated his era (in 1921, only two American League teams hit as many home runs as Ruth did all by himself), and that was an era in which baseball had a near monopoly on the best professional athletes. The capstone to the Ruth argument is the five-season stretch during which he was among baseball's best pitchers before switching full...
Written while Dionne was living in the small town of Keswick, Va., in a house with "a nice family, three dogs and horse named Hank," the book describes the destructive effect of partisan party politics on political discourse...
...nervous about who will appear on the final night. There are some perfect moments of celebrity humiliation: Larry chases Warren Beatty in the parking lot and asks him to be a guest to say goodbye.

...nuclear tests in the Pacific, and this time he makes his way quickly to New York City. Matthew Broderick plays an American scientist, Dr. Nick Tatopoulos (a nod to the new creator); Jean Reno is a mysterious agent for the French; Maria Pitillo is a newscaster wannabe; and Hank Azaria is a TV cameraman. Together they battle not just Godzilla but a teeming snake pit of little Godzillas. Though referred to as "he," the monster belongs to transgender studies, reproducing by parthenogenesis. How does it all end? Well, even Toho has broken the rule about Godzilla's not dying...
