...massive World War II memorial tablet that spreads across the south wall of Memorial Church dominates the interior, accented by the light that filters down from the barreled ceiling of the church’s nave. The name of Adolf Sannwald, a visiting fellow at Harvard Divinity School (HDS) from 1924-1925, is among the 696 carved into the white marble. But only his is followed by the inscription...
...rebirth. Its fusion of Greek-inspired elegance and Romanesque dynamism makes it worth a look inside, even if the best tenors are not tuning up. But the most memorable site in town is still unfinished - and always will be. Santa Maria dello Spasimo, a 16th century church whose nave was never completed, has been reopened to visitors, who can savor a unique moment of reflection by looking up through the incomplete roof to the sky above.

Of course, the Yankees won in convincing fashion--but, nevertheless, I am certain they are going down this year. I may be nave, but I'm right. And one day, when the Red Sox face the hapless Chicago Cubs in the most exciting World Series ever played, I will sit back and laugh at the Bronx Bombers and their millions of bandwagon-hopping fans, finally satisfied...
