...goes for as many seasons as one is allowed; then the ability to play wanes. But things often get best just before the end. They say that 41-year-old Ozzie Smith, the great Cardinals shortstop, should have quit last year before having to suffer the sight of a better, younger fielder taking his place. Watching the All-Star game last month, one might have agreed when Ozzie let a high chopper play him that he would have charged without blinking a few years ago. But then he made a classic double-play pivot in the sixth and beamed like...

Even so, the Senate is debating a provision to block an FDA plan to make more complete drug information available. "The nation spends as much to cure the illnesses caused by prescription drugs as we spend on the drugs themselves," said Senator Edward Kennedy, who is fighting to preserve the FDA initiative.
