The One Man Enemy

I will concede that intellectually overdainty types, such as myself, don’t even care for the term “enemy,” no matter what the offense of those so designated or the degree of our own animosity toward them. We are made uneasy by a concept that seems too inclusive, final and inflammatory. And so we are forever mousing around about the “other side” (which concedes there is a dispute, but takes no sides)....

The One Word That Defines Mariano Rivera S Hall Of Fame Career

Kevin Cash, a journeyman catcher, was the backstop for many great pitchers throughout his nine-year career: 2019 Hall of Fame inductee Roy Halladay, Chris Carpenter, Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, to name a few. In 2009, Cash was a member of the Yankees for just 10 games during their championship season, and for 4 1/3 innings of those 10 games, he was the batterymate of future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera....

The Original Mario Party Celebrates A Special Birthday Today

For those unaware, Mario Party released in Japan in December of 1998, but celebrates its 21st birthday today for the United States and Canadian releases. The game featured a board game like approach where the player would collect coins and stars in an attempt to get more than the other players, but was characterized by its unique and enjoyable mini games. Since February 8th, 1999, the Mario Party franchise has grown significantly, now boasting an impressive 11 main entries and 6 side entries, and shows no sign of stopping any time soon....

The Philosopher King

His best-known film, ““The Thin Blue Line,’’ an investigation into a Texas crime that resulted in the release of a man wrongly convicted of murder, is the easiest to buttonhole; but even there Morris mixed real interviews with simulated re-enactments, blurring the line between fact and fiction. Morris’s interviews, in which his subjects speak straight into the camera, have a spookily formal quality that’s all his own. This style was evident in his amazing first feature, ““Gates of Heaven....

The Pickup Game As A Model For Peace

I’ve played in pickup games in New York, London, Paris, New Delhi and Katmandu. There’s a soccer game in most every town, if you know where to look. You don’t have to speak the local language. You don’t have to share the same religion. You simply have to run, pass, dribble and shoot. It’s a fast way into a foreign culture and an entree into being a world citizen, in the best sense of the term....

Michael Irvin’s contract is set to expire at the NFL Network before the start of the 2016 season, according to sources with knowledge of his contract, making him a free agent in the TV world. The 50-year old Irvin flies by the seat of his pants on TV. His unpredictability made him a chancy hire early in his TV career.

The Pokemon Anime Should Reveal Ash S Dad Before Ending His Story

Even if Ash remains the protagonist of certain future Pokemon films or other media, his story will remain incomplete if his father’s identity is left unexplored in the show. His father doesn’t need to be a Pokemon master or even a known character of importance, but to leave Ash essentially back where he started lacks the emotional catharsis an ending this significant should have. It’s not as though the series hasn’t toyed with the question of Ash’s absent father figure; he is mentioned briefly on several occasions....

The Politics Of Discomfort Levels

In New Jersey the incumbent governor is leading, in part because a pervasive cynicism that he helped create has crippled his opponent’s ability to be believed. In Virginia, the campaign is clattering down the yellow brick road to Oz. In both states the campaigners seem to assume that the voters think like this: Because little good can be expected from government, we should just concentrate on getting governors who do not make us uncomfortable....

The President Shades Of Green

Unlike his caricature, Bush is not monochromatic when it comes to the environment. During the final weeks of the 2000 campaign. he lampooned Gore’s plans to cut taxes for those living a green lifestyle. “How many of you own a hybrid electric-gasoline-engine vehicle?” he would ask at rallies. “How many of you have a rooftop photovoltaic system?” But following his green-tinted State of the Union address in January, Bush now travels the country promoting both hybrid vehicles and solar power....

The President S Brother A Mob Story

Nobody suggests that the president’s brother broke any laws by advising a Tokyo firm called West Tsusho to put $5 million into a New York financial-services firm. He was paid a $250,000 finder’s fee and was promised a three year, $750,000 consultancy contract. He also is reported to have recommended that the Japanese invest in Quantum Access Inc., a Texas software company he said last year is run by his nephew; police in Tokyo are investigating whether that deal violated reporting requirements under Japanese foreign-exchange laws....

The Problem With A Dungeons And Dragons Movie

After years of sitting on various shelves, a movie about Dungeons & Dragons is heading to theaters. Honor Among Thieves isn’t the first take on the franchise and the previous entries were bizarre messes, but the public perception of Wizards of the Coast’s beloved game has changed dramatically.

The Quest For A Cancer Vaccine

In his new book, “The Transformed Cell” (353 pages. Putnam. $24.95), Rosenberg describes how Schreiber looked when she returned this year for a follow-up exam. The cancer had “left a few marks,” he writes, “but they were only marks–small bluish spots on the inside of her arm, on the roof of her mouth, and at a few other sites …. The tumors in her tonsils had disappeared. The tumors in her chest, gone....

The Myth Of Quality Time

Not every family can, or wants to, make a life change on that scale. But many are starting to question whether time devoted to their children really can be efficiently penciled into the day’s calendar, like a business appointment with a couple of short, excitable clients. No wonder a growing number of psychologists and educators who work with children would like to get rid of the whole idea of quality time....

The New Law Of Uncertainty

The biggest fallacy in forecasting of any kind is to take current conditions and extrapolate forward as if those conditions won’t change. President Bush could still be vulnerable politically. Same for Howard Dean in the primaries, regardless of how positive the news climate may be for both of them right now. Even with good odds, the shoo-in doesn’t fit. That’s because the media-political universe adheres to two strange laws simultaneously....

The New New York

That was back in 1949, when people of European descent made up 91 percent of the city’s population. Today it is truer than ever, with the newest settlers bringing plenty of salsa and spice along with their passion. It is no coincidence that New York has only grown larger, lovelier and livelier as its share of immigrants has increased. According to the latest Census figures, the population of New York City–consisting of the five boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island–has topped 8 million for the first time....

The New Relationship Red Flag Gaslighting Apologies

Gaslighting alone is a recognized form of psychological abuse in which a person or group causes someone to question their own sanity, memories, or perception of reality. Usage of the term has increased since 2013 and hasn’t slowed down since. However, in 2017, a YouGov poll revealed 75 percent of U.S. adults had never heard the term “gaslighting” before—or have heard the term but don’t know what it means. The poll found only 19 percent know the definition of gaslighting....

The Next Borderlands 3 Dlc Release Date Has Interesting Implications For Future Content

For those unaware, the original Borderlands 3 Fall/Winter DLC Roadmap looked something like this: The game released in September, October saw a Halloween Seasonal event, November brought the game’s first add on takedown mission, and then December closed out the year and the season with a new story DLC. Curiously, though, the same did not happen in January, February, and March, the first two of which never even made it onto a roadmap....

The Nfl Coaching Game

I don’t exactly know when our obsession turned from the men on the field to the men on the sidelines. Perhaps it happened as baby boomers, with their overarching influence, aged, and, with their aching bodies, could no longer muster playing fantasies. But there is no doubt that the coach has emerged as the central figure in the weekly NFL drama. The question of the week is no longer phrased: Will LaDainian Tomlinson run wild on the Pats tough ‘D’?...
