Just one more game. Therein lies the true beauty of the Streak. Ripken never set out to eclipse the "Iron Horse," who he modestly and somewhat mistakenly believes was a much better ballplayer than himself. "I'm not even in Gehrig's league," says Ripken. Offensively speaking, Ripken may be right, although he has had two mvp, Gehrigian seasons (1983 and 1991). But defensively Ripken plays a much tougher position than Gehrig did, and he does a much better job of it at that. As durable as Lou was, he played every inning of every game for only one season...
Zimmer admits he does not know how many prisons feature those perks. But he takes the "one prison that has them is one prison too many" point of view. Advocates of prisoners rights, a beleaguered group these days, insist that few lock-up facilities offer much that could be mistaken for the good life.

In a nationally televised speech, Murayama said, "Japan, following a mistaken national policy, advanced along the road to war...and through its colonial rule and aggression caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations...
What is happening in Bosnia should not be mistaken for or equated to the Holocaust. The sheer magnitude of the crimes committed by the Nazis against the Jewish population of Europe outweigh the crimes committed by any group in the former Yugoslav Republic. But something of the same concept is ineluctably present. The motivation to destroy another person or group of people simply for having some cultural or religious characteristic, regardless of new tags like "ethnic cleansing," echoes too strongly of genocide. And that is where I thought that America drew the indelible line between right and wrong. Regardless...
