...Until yesterday’s revelation. To be sure, Spitzer is not to be pitied. He was the victim of his own bad karma and rank hypocrisy (he orchestrated the bust of a prostitution ring as New York attorney general in 2004). Still, isn’t there something shamefully dishonest about a culture that obsesses over the sex lives of its elected officials? They are, after all, mere men and women, as vulnerable as any to the snares of carnal desire. Their position of power simply invites attention...

His latest volume of verse, Tilting Our Plates to Catch the Light, is due to be published this month, hopefully to burnish further the international reputation that the previous five collections have established...
...Some are even starting to consider it the Curse of the 'Canes - an ominous karma hanging over one of the nation's most brashly successful (five national championships since 1983) but controversial big-time college football programs, one that has long seemed a magnet for guns and trouble. "Miami's problems are hardly isolated among large college football programs, but unfortunately these incidents do seem a reflection of [the UM football] legacy," says noted sports sociologist Richard Lapchick of the University of Central Florida in Orlando and author of the just published The 100 Pioneers: African-Americans Who Broke Color...
