...years ago, we had a good talk, and they told me they'd call when a spot opened up. I was pretty sure I was getting the big old brush-off, but then out of nowhere [Bob Costas, host of HBO's Costas Now, moved to the MLB Network], and they called...
...boisterous enough to satisfy cable-TV viewers - could impact your reputation as a prime-time broadcaster? A smarter guy might worry about that. I don't know that I qualify.

So much building has happened since the mid-1990s that the West Bank resembles a Jackson Pollock drip painting of Jewish and Arab lands, connected and disconnected by bypass roads and cement blocks. The old Green Line border, now morphing into a wall, has literally doubled in size...
