Like all no-hitters, this one was helped by extraordinary fielding. Donnie Allard ranged deep into the right center field gap to corral a Joel Mock smash in the fourth, and third baseman Danny Skaff made a nifts play on a sharp grounder to nail Pete Shutte an inning later. And Brown's play that ended the game ("I grabbed it off my chest") could have easily bounced through...

In recent years, artists' reputations once thought to be buried for ever have been summoned to their resurrection by art-historical revisionism and the demands of the art market. Brandish ing their wormy palettes, these venerable shades mock the belief in linear progress that was once a byword of modernism.

...least one good girl was not ruined by these books, although she must have read a lot of them to mock so well. Before her 15th birthday in 1790, Jane Austen had written Love and Freindship, erratic spellings and all, into a notebook.
