...hadn't, I would have thought, 'Uh-oh, can I ever write a novel again?'" At that moment, deluged by congratulations, invitations and preparations, never mind another novel, Morrison found herself stymied by her acceptance speech. She had no free time to work on it, and when she stole some, she produced nothing she liked. "I called someone at the Nobel Committee," she remembers, "and I said, 'Look, if you're going to keep giving prizes to women--and I hope you do--you're going to have to give us more warning.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog, and nobody knows who stole the Pamela Anderson Lee and Tommy Lee video that you're watching...
...Courage at the bat Two flinty veterans faced something more frightening than a 100-m.p.h. fastball: cancer. The Orioles' Eric Davis returned from chemotherapy for colon cancer to bat .310 in September. Brett Butler of the Dodgers, who had throat cancer, hit .283 and stole 15 bases. They win our vote for Comeback Heroes of the Year...
