...London premier of The Caretaker at the Arts Theatre sees Pinter's fortunes shoot skyward. Instantly successful, the play transfers to the West End and runs for 444 performances. Productions across Europe, South Africa and in New York City follow. The once-reviled The Birthday Party, starring his then-wife Vivien Merchant, is shown on British television, drawing 11 million viewers...
Bonds has always had good power numbers, but his emergence, at 36, as the game's premier long-ball hitter is inexplicable. In 2000 the Giants moved into Pac Bell Park, whose cozy right-field dimensions (307 ft. down the foul line) were designed with Bonds' left-handed bat in mind.

But he opts for more affordable pleasure - the $20 table dance. Standing between his spread knees, Sarah sways rhythmically and slips off her dress. Brushing against him, she says naughtily, "I'm breaking the rules here...
...while Bush failed to convince the Europeans, the fact remains that he sets their agenda. Because he can, by virtue of America's gargantuan military power that literally dwarfs that of its combined allies or foes, and by virtue of its status as the premier polluter of the planet's atmosphere. The Europeans may not like his position on missile defense or Kyoto, but by stating both as a fait accompli he has forced them to respond...
