...Thank you for your farewell to The Scooter, Phil Rizzuto [Dec. 31, 2007-Jan. 7, 2008]. After I read the piece and took in the photo from his days on the field, it was clear to me that Scooter was key to my love of the game of baseball. Although I grew up in New York after his playing days were over, he was with me every game from his broadcast booth.

As the understated, hands-off country guru at Capitol Records for 20 years, the California-based Nelson defined the raw, twangy style that became known as the Bakersfield sound, first with the 1952 Hank Thompson hit The Wild Side of Life and later by discovering Merle Haggard (above, at left) and Buck Owens...
...Thank you for giving me a glimpse into Russia's soul. The heartbeat of a nation is its pride. I see Russia now not as Stalinist but as Putinist. Russia's story is indeed Putin's story. Jeremy P. McConnell, BALTIMORE...
