...reason, if we're to be honest, is that we simply don't want to die. And call it inappropriate or laudable, that's what we were doing before we started shaking our mail for suspicious powder. Today you have Tom Brokaw clenching back purple rage on his own newscast and journalists around the country imagining their own kids in the position of that ABC producer's baby. (My own two-month-old visited my office a couple of weeks ago. He's doing fine; his dad's overactive, morbid imagination - that's another story...
...survey, which included 1,792 adults, took place over July 5-9 - well into the current economic downturn (or correction, depending upon which newscast you favor).

Sunday's race in Rockingham, N.C., not far from Dale Sr.'s hometown, will be a wailing wall. But Dale Jr. will be out there, in one of his father's cars, because Dale Sr. would have wanted it that way. The race will...
...Earnhardt crash, tragic as it may be, could be its ticket. The deadly mishap landed Earnhardt - and NASCAR - at the top of every Sunday-night newscast and on the front page of every Monday-morning newspaper. The sport wanted to reach a wider audience, gain a greater legitimacy. And for anyone whose interest in the sport was piqued by the news - and whose wasn't? - the Earnhardt obituary makes a sad-but-perfect introduction...
