...first model, built in 1962, looked like a flying saucer and never got off the ground. The current iteration, the M400, is painted hot-rod red and shaped like a miniature fighter plane. It is powered by eight 150-horsepower methanol-burning rotary engines, has a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-controlled steering system for increased stability and can reach top speeds of 350 m.p.h.--at least in theory. While no one outside the company has ever seen the Skycar fly, Moller claims it hovered about 10 ft. above the ground for a few seconds in a test flight last...
Veteran strummer Carlos Santana drives “Whatever Happens” with a guitar solo that is by turns calm and edgy. Similarly, the final track, “Threatened,” benefits greatly by the presence of a guest star in the form of the late Rod Serling. Audio snippets from the CBS archive are mixed and matched to the beat in this “Thriller” redux.

Then Soriano smacked a single to right. Knoblauch raced for home. Sanders throw beat him, but catcher Rod Barajas couldn?t handle the short hop, and the Stadium exploded in disbelieving delight. ?I can?t be surprised,? Torre said after the most incredible two days in baseball history. ?It just happened the day before...
...spring training and picking his or her jaw off the ground after seeing this play. It was a preseason game between the Diamondbacks and the Giants. Randy Johnson was on the mound for the ’Backs, and he threw a fastball that never made it to catcher Rod Barajas’ mitt. Instead, it collided with a dove that just happened to be swooping down past home plate at the time. There was an explosion of feathers and what was left of the bird landed somewhere behind home plate...
