...catch. The Times will remember this catastrophe for a long time but will, in all likelihood, not suffer much for it. Blair's suffering, however, may have just begun. Upon resigning, he told the Associated Press, "I have been struggling with recurring personal issues, which have caused me great pain. I am now seeking appropriate counseling." --Reported by Jodie Morse/New York, Cathy Booth Thomas/Dallas and Viveca Novak/Washington
...start reading, and some of the best writing comes at the beginning, in the chapters covering the meaningless, sun-soaked overture of spring training. There, sitting in the stands with the senior citizens in Sarasota, Fla., watching a trio of trainee pitchers share a joke, Angell confronts the hidden pain nursed by every bleacher bum: "We would never be part of that golden company on the field, which each of us, certainly for one moment of his life, had wanted more than anything else in the world to join."

"The records of his maladies for August 1961," writes Dallek, "provide a window into his struggle to remain effectively attentive to the public's business.

...Fido starts limping after the mailman, he may not simply be succumbing to old age. He may have arthritis, and thanks to a new drug from Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis, his pain can be eased with fewer side effects. The FDA has approved Deramaxx, the first animal drug to target the COX-2 enzyme, responsible for arthritic pain, while sparing the COX-1 enzyme, which helps dogs (and people) protect their stomach linings. This relief method puts Deramaxx in the same class as Celebrex (Pfizer) and Vioxx (Merck), which are for humans. Vets expect Deramaxx to cut into sales...
