Bonds has been walked 147 times thus far this season. His OBP is .530, almost 80 points higher than that of Mr. Pujols. It’s kinda hard to pile up the RBIs when pitchers are too scared to pitch to you. That’s what happens when you’re far and away the best hitter in baseball...
Schwarzenegger, his wife Maria Shriver and their four children--Katherine, 13; Christina, 12; Patrick, 9 and Christopher, 5--live in the kind of place that Hollywood-Kennedy royalty would be expected to inhabit. Their home is a five-bedroom, 11-bathroom, Tudor-style pile. It measures 11,000 sq. ft. on six ocean-view acres in Brentwood. Visitors to their home bring back tales of Arnie's lavish humidors, the enormous ceilings and the Warhol silkscreen of Shriver. It all goes with Arnold's fortune--estimated at several hundred million. That comes largely from movies--he was paid $30 million...
...cats at least brought a little glamour to their garbage pile. The America on display in the Jerry Springer opera is a place where white-trash yahoos willingly air their tawdriest laundry in public for a few minutes of TV fame. The show is just one example of a wave of new stage works overseas that put the U.S. in a distinctly unflattering light. In Paris a "savagely satirical impromptu" called George W.

Weill's legacy is closely tied to Citi's health, as is his personal fortune of $1 billion in Citi shares. Before joining Citi, Weill lost out in a power struggle at American Express in 1985. He never lost another, leaving a pile of adversaries, and colleagues, in his wake as he rose to the pinnacle of U.S. financial power at Citi. When Weill consolidated power following the 1998 merger of Travelers with Citicorp, previous favorite son Jamie Dimon was written off like a bad loan. So Prince knows he can't afford to stumble--at least not before Weill...
...reasons for going back into the mine pile up on top of one another like chunks of coal clunking into a hopper, none obviously bigger or more important than the next. In addition to the joy of battling Mother Nature, there's the money. The $150,000 may help him retire early, but meanwhile "I was off six months, and you have to have a job." He has no memory of the drowning dream described by his wife. Unlike most of the other eight miners, several of whom claim to be depressed and/or on Paxil, he says he sees...
