...seven-year-old who dashes into the grandstands for the first time, absorbing the enormity of the left-field “Green Monster,” and obsessively staring at the anonymous relief pitcher playing catch in right field. Fenway Park awes with its present, regardless of the unjust proportion of Red Sox joys to sorrows...

In his summit speech, Abdullah called the U.S. military involvement in Iraq an "illegitimate foreign occupation," and demanded an end to the "unjust" American-led embargo on the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Authority. All of this amounted to a sharp debunking of Rice's suggestion that Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies form a new moderate bloc to confront Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizballah. Abdullah called on his fellow leaders to restore their credibility...
