...Giuliani just say he's sorry? He surely doesn't need to shore up his law-and-order credentials, and by defending virtually every cop no matter how hideous the episode, he does no favor for the 99% of cops who don't shoot first and ask questions later. Giuliani does know how to behave better. When Haitian immigrant Abner Louima was sodomized by a police officer with the handle of a toilet plunger in 1997, Giuliani expressed shock at the brutality and called for a task force to review police-community issues. But that was in the midst...
...Orleans. Our goal was to sample some of the best of the American train experience from the Windy City to the Mississippi Delta. But snow closed the airport. Postponing the Chicago-New Orleans run to Saturday night, we nabbed the last two seats on Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited, leaving Penn Station at 4:30, while hundreds of snowbound air passengers were left milling around LaGuardia Airport.

But late last year a wrongful-death suit that Pepper had filed on their behalf against Jowers came to trial in Memphis, providing a chance for a verdict that would shore up at least part of Pepper's tall tale. The proceeding was a fiasco. Jowers--who has changed his story so many times it ought to come with a version number like computer software--never took the stand in his own defense. Ballistics testimony was provided by Judge Joe Brown...
What makes the NCAA tournament so great--and makes this year's tournament better than most--is cheering for underdogs, a distinctly American pastime. When the Statue of Liberty says "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore," she asks for underdogs. Horatio Alger, Class of 1852, spent his life writing about underdogs. And then there's "The Underdog Show," a cartoon that first appeared in the late 1960s, in which the lowest of the low (Shoeshine Boy) transforms into an unlikely superhero--a small, cute, furry...
