...where does this leave us? We have two players involved in an on-ice conflict that would not even have made the game notes if the stick was swung seven or eight inches lower. Yet we have local police pondering lock-up for McSorley. But more important than McSorley's fate is the relationship between professional sports...
...arms and legs. Phronakson arrests about 10 foreigners a month, usually for drug possession. The word among foreigners is that for a 70,000 baht fine, about $1,800, the Thais will deport you rather than imprison you. As for the Canadian currently being held in the second-floor lock-up: according to detectives, he's ingested too much lamphong, a locally grown intoxicating flower that causes vivid hallucinations and can cause permanent psychological damage. They'll be shipping him to a psychiatric ward on the mainland, to a place called, of all things, Suan Sanarom--the Garden of Joys...

...your untimely death. If you should expire when the market is down, your beneficiaries will still receive a decent payout. Let's say that at 67 you have a $100,000 investment, and in a year it grows to $150,000. For a 0.3% fee, you can each year lock in at the current account value so that if the stock drops, say to $120,000 the following year--and you drop--your heirs will still get $150,000. If you're under age 60, however, the cost may outweigh the rewards of just being patient...
