...Blair reached across the Atlantic for cover. But not to Clinton, whose tactics, strategy and substantive prescriptions he has occasionally borrowed and with whom he is often compared. No, this time Blair went for the big embrace, straight past Clinton to Thatcher's old ideological soul mate Ronald Reagan...
With the red-rose symbol of new Labour behind him, Blair responded, "If a majority wants to be in a union, they should be allowed to do so, just like in the United States.

I pray that baseball can take this special season and build...
