...want to be making a paper hat in a jury pool, so I read the WSJ. The new format was inviting. I learned that the dollar needs to get weaker so it won't suddenly collapse and that there is such a thing as investing in orange juice futures. Then we were called up to the courtroom. A not-guilty-looking young woman stood accused of selling cocaine. The law was going to have a hard time convincing me to send that little girl up the river...

The Athletics Area would be extended to the south to accommodate the displaced facilities...
...think we are all the Person of the Year. I am a student; my mother is a teacher; my father is a small-business owner; a friend is a lawyer; my brother is a doctor. We are not even candidates to be the Person of the Year. The pool of choices should be limited to Presidents, generals, Prime Ministers and Popes. Names like Roosevelt, Truman, Elizabeth II, Hitler, Stalin and John Paul II should be succeeded by other similarly important and influential ones. We are simply people with jobs, families and ordinary lives. The Person of the Year should...
