...Sox! The Boston Red Sox did a magnificent job of winning baseball's World Series championship [Nov. 8]. Even though I'm a New York Yankees fan, I admit that sluggers David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were superb in leading their team to victory. The Curse of the Bambino has finally been broken!

Now that the Red Sox have won, they can go back to playing their usual role as second best to the Yankees. But now it's without any excuses. Roy Weston Victoria, Canada...
...made to feel they are necessary to their families for functions ranging from baby sitting to being a toastmaster at frequent dinners - a Georgian specialty. The researchers found that filling a need can help people overcome life's adversities. Rodney Angove Mountain View, California, U.S. The Joy of Sox!
