Success in this mission would achieve two goals that Maturin, half-Irish, half-Catalan, passionately desires: a blow to the Spanish oppressors of Catalonia and a setback for Napoleon, since the newly liberated countries would presumably owe allegiance to Britain rather than France for their freedom...
Greenberg wove anecdotes into his speech. Inone story, the rabbi talked about a ceremony inwhich Napoleon called forth the three greatestfighters in his army--a German, a Pole and aJew--and granted them each a wish...

But the climate has changed since George and the Yanks were last on top. Bobby Bonds makes 10 times what Reggie Jackson did in 1978, and owners say they need a salary cap to restrain themselves from...
