...could Game 6 possibly produce anything close to what had happened in the Bronx? It couldn?t. Instead, baseball in the Twilight Zone had shifted into Pacific Standard Time. The matchup was the same as Game 1, with the Slim Jim slinger, Johnson, paired against Pettitte. The Big Unit came into the playoffs with a horrible 1-7 record, while Pettitte had proven big game credentials. But in this Series, everything that ever happened in baseball before it seems irrelevant. Johnson set the Yanks down in order in the first, while his teammates touched Pettite for a run. Pettitte...
...bombs clearing the way for a quick ground operation. After less than two weeks, the Pentagon was claiming that its bombs had "eviscerated" the Taliban's military capability. But last week that optimism faded. Dreams of a hit-and-run war gave way to the reality of a long twilight struggle that seems sure to drag into the Afghan winter. After more than 3,000 American bombs, the Taliban still has plenty of fight left in it; Taliban troops have thwarted a Northern Alliance offensive at Mazar-i-Sharif; civilian deaths are climbing; and many coalition partners--most crucially Pakistan...
...complete silence while staring straight at me, examined my Coop card for five minutes and read the back jacket of each of the books I bought.

Enter T.T. the Bear’s. To the left, an overcrowded stage area and opening act in the twilight of their set. To the right, surrounded by a cadre of drunken Harvard students, sits, ponderous, the main attraction. From time to time, he disengages from what appears to be a highly involved internal dialectic on whether or not to take another sip of his water, clasps lucky fans by the ears, and repeatedly graces them with his trademark headbutt. The anticipation in the room is almost palpable as he, with great effort, makes his way towards the stage...
Dusk was falling last Tuesday when news of the attack on America first reached this war-ruined city, Kabul. In the dusty twilight, Afghans held radios to their ears, listening to static-filled accounts on the Voice of America and the BBC Pashto- and Persian-language services. Because the country's Taliban rulers forbid television, Afghans could see no pictures of the destruction that had people everywhere else glued to their sets. The immensity of the World Trade Center had to be described. When Afghans asked me about the Twin Towers, I compared them to Afghanistan's giant Bamiyan Buddha...
