...baseball’s most common and poorly kept secrets.Yet somehow, the only thing that shocked me about the whole incident was how indiscreet Rogers was about his use of pine tar. I would have expected a little more guile out of the grizzled 18-year veteran. Yet the blatant use of pine tar serves to show just how widespread the use of illegal substances is among pitchers. After playing my first full-season of pro baseball, I have come to understand that players will undoubtedly seek out any advantage possible, legal or otherwise. Pitchers’ use of suntan...
...Hagan, and to re-establish him in the starting lineup for the game against the Big Green, from one perspective, seems like a no-brainer. He led the Ivy League in total offense as a sophomore, his nine career starts instantly make him one of the more veteran passers in the Ancient Eight, and he is a multi-dimensional threat in the pocket. O’Hagan’s best attribute may be his ability to make plays with his feet—he led the team with 89 rushing yards at Princeton—as Murphy is quick...
...Skippy (Joshua M. Brener ’07), the one son she has. Holland portrays that dual personality with ease, presenting a fascinating ambiguity between childlike innocence and pathetic nagging.Michael B.

A founding member of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the veteran musician has made even more headlines for his turbulent personal life. Crosby, who appeared at Woodstock, has gone to prison for possession of a firearm and drugs, been in a serious motorcycle crash, gone broke, taken heroin, had a liver transplant and fathered six children, two of them as a sperm donor. He recounts his colorful story in his new book, Since Then: How I Survived Everything and Lived to Tell About It (Putnam), which will...
...situation is so bad that the group petitioned the government to pay severely affected farmers not to grow grapes. (The government, which frequently gripes about the handouts Europe gives its farmers, refused.) "It's as bad as I've seen it in 46 years," says Brian McGuigan, an industry veteran and former managing director of McGuigan Simeon Wines, the nation's second largest wine firm. Viewed from Australia, the French measures seem timid and slow. Australia's 20 biggest winemakers account for 85% of the market, and they have reacted much faster to the crisis, cutting prices and taking...
