...Carew is the least-known star in baseball's galaxy. He works his wonders in Bloomington, a suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul, cities owned--in the national mind, if not in reality--by Fran Tarkenton, Mary Tyler Moore and blizzards.

In another corner a number of boys are exploring ways to injure themselves with folded metal chairs--like swinging them at one another. A soccer ball zips past...
...sight is not new to me. I’m living in Bondi, a Sydney suburb that borders one of the world’s most famous beaches. It’s an interesting place, full of hip models, Orthodox Jews, and droves of tourists.
