...since the time of [Kenesaw Mountain] Landis," said then commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti in 1989, referring to the commissioner who cleaned up the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Confronted with this evidence, Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from the sport but didn't specifically admit to betting on baseball. Implicit in the agreement, according to former commissioner Fay Vincent and others convinced that Rose bet on baseball, is the fact that the only act punishable by a lifetime ban is baseball's cardinal sin: gambling on the game...
...Implicit in this "humor" is the assertion that the endangerment suffered by minorities in general, and queers in particular, is also illusory. They suffer discrimination; we only cry it. We are at pains to note that no conservative has lost his job, been disowned by his family, expelled from his community of faith, barred from marriage or adoption, had every aspect of his sexual life criminalized--or, certainly, been brutally beaten to death--based solely on his political sympathies...
...suggest that the imagined plight of conservatives is in any way comparable to the oppressively real struggles of queer communities is an act, at best, of shameful disingenuousness. At worst, it is a frank assault. Implicit in this false parallel is the fantasy of a queer conspiracy putting the increasingly fragile American family, character and more under siege.

Implicit here was the perception that these people--gay men, intravenous drug users and immigrants (though of course the victims were never limited to these groups)--were acceptable victims. Their deaths, for Reagan, constituted a national cleansing...
...World War II forerunners of a corporate form better known as keiretsu, those vertically integrated manufacturing and trading cartels that gave Japan Inc. its fearsome reputation in the 1980s. Son doesn't want to own his companies outright, or to run them. He aims to gain implicit control with a 20%-to-30% stake in each and to build a web of mutual cross-investments with sales, marketing and supply ties. "I want us to be No. 1 in every area," says Son. In five years he expects the global Softbank family to grow to 780 companies...
