...that score, the Cleveland Indians stroked a monstrous home run last week. They are riding about as high as any team in baseball, having sold every seat for every game in a popular new stadium for three years running.

It was news horrifying enough to cause parents all over America to wonder if they were doing enough to wall away their children from the bad angels...
...issue that is central in the minds of many Americans." But surely Clinton knows that it is on the minds of many African Americans, who are convinced that the great rift between the races cannot be healed until America seeks forgiveness for one of the most monstrous eras in history.
