...never mind all that detracting stuff, 12 hits is 12 hits. The Harvard bats made some noise (even if it is the 'ping' of those aluminum jobs) and the base runners are no longer being left to die on the sacks. The old horsehide is once again dropping in for the Crimson nine, who boosted the team record...
...totally different set on Tuesday and Thursday. I think that a sense of conflict between one's emotional response to absolute morality and one's rational sense of the implausibility of there being a God is obviously a part of what I call 'the Ping Pong game.' I always write about two people arguing. I play Ping Pong with myself, but there is no killing shot.

After the birth of Ping Pong diplomacy in 1971, the Chinese allowed the resident foreign press corps to increase from 18 reporters to the present 42 (including 24 from non-Communist nations). Though no U.S. news organizations have yet been permitted to open bureaus, many prominent American journalists were treated royally during extended visits. Their reportage created the impression that China was opening up in a substantial way-an impression that is apparently illusory...
