Maybe Rivera is onto something. The July 16 game against Atlanta was the last one he lost all season, and he allowed just one earned run in the remaining 49 innings he pitched, including a scoreless post-season. Coincidence, or divine intervention...
...think of computer gamers as having refined, sophisticated taste, but believe us ? within the scope of our particular obsession, believe us, we do. Game publishers dump hundreds of computers onto the market every year, and only a small fraction of them really have the stuff we're looking...
...When students log onto the council's electronic voting program this week, they will cast an important vote on the issues of council downsizing and hiking the termbill.

The Goldberg variation on Rhapsody in Blue is a smartly syncopated tribute to ageless caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. In the style of the NINAs...
