...team won an unfathomable 21 of 22 games before being swept in the World Series (we'll gladly fail to mention the sweepers). Some skeptics still insist it's a fluke of nature - namely, the thin Coors Field air that plays tricks on other teams.

...brothers and sisters in Tibet, we want the protests to continue," said B. Tsering, president of the Tibetan Women's Association. But since the passing of the Chinese deadline for the protestors to surrender at midnight Monday, the organizers of the protests in India have been treading a thin line between hope and despair - protests seem to have calmed down in Tibet and China, but every news of new protests and arrests brings a tiny blip of hope. They're far from ready to give up the protest altogether. Asked if they'd stop the march if asked...
