...Levine, art director of Marsalis Music, and other artsy types who will discuss the aesthetics and production of CD cover art. Lecture Hall, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St. Free. 3. September 30, 12-6 p.m. Free. Mingle with hordes of cool cats at the Beantown Jazz Festival. The Omar Sosa Trio, Mark Tucker Quartet, and the Unwrapped All-Stars with Dennis Nelson are just a few of the fifteen acts that will perform on three outdoor stages. At press time, www.weather.com reported blue skies, so no excuses to not get moving and get cultured. To get there: Take...
This one hurt. A sudden, fall-off-the-bike at 40 m.p.h., road rash, legs mangled in the wheel hurt. After Marion Jones, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, aren't we immune to the fact that our beloved athletes might not have achieved immortality on talent alone? Hell, no. Last week came word that Floyd Landis--the fun-loving Mennonite from Pennsylvania, the guy whose Alpine comeback in the Tour de France was dubbed, properly, "The Ride of the Century" (and he did it with a bum hip to boot)--that guy might have cheated...

But all three have been dogged by suspicion of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, and there have been calls to restore Maris as the title holder...
...sponsored a similar resolution in the U.S. Senate, citing the ongoing steroids scandal. "Some of us think [Maris's] home run record still stands," Dorgan said during Commerce Committee hearings last year on steroids and baseball, "and that is a sad comment on baseball." Appearing before the committee, Sosa denied using steroids, and McGwire refused to answer questions about steroid us (though he did admit to previously using the legal supplement androstein). Bonds has repeatedly denied knowingly using any performance-enhancing drugs...
