...tenth anniversary of Nasser's revolution. The program is elaborate: a major Nasser speech before a quarter-million Egyptians in Cairo's Republican Square, a military parade along the boulevards of the Nile Corniche featuring Soviet T-54 tanks of the Egyptian army and, overhead, Soviet TY-16 jet bombers with Egyptian pilots. Amid fireworks, throngs hurried to the fairgrounds on Gezira island, wandered through airy pavilions and outdoor exhibits crammed with Egyptian-made products, including Fiat cars, five-ton trucks, Ma Griffe perfume and Odorono deodorant, all locally manufactured under license.

...home run, Maury Wills is a refreshing throwback to an older, and in some ways more exciting time when ball games were won or lost by speed on the bases. In 1915 the late great Ty Cobb set the major league season record by stealing 96 bases for Detroit, and legend has it that "the Georgia Peach'' filed a knife-edge on his steel spikes to enforce his belief that "the base paths belong to the runner."

Unfortunately, the Red Sox have been weak in the pitching department, and, as Ty Cobb once remarked, if you haven't got it there, well, maybe you just don't have it. Take for example Mike Fornieles' relief stint yesterday: single, walk single, wild pitch, walk, and hit batsman (poor old Gene Woodling). Not bad for one afternoon...
