Besides, [Redfield T. Baum] probably doesn't trust anything he's being told by [Jerry Moyes]' lawyers or the NHL attorneys. The judge probably feels like he's being swindled by both sides. Meanwhile, Baum must also be leery of [Balsillie]'s sappy "I have a dream" of bringing another NHL team to Canada. That might be Balsillie's dream, but his intention is to get his mitts on a business that would immediately rank in the NHL's top three moneymakers. No matter what Baum decides -- and we're guessing he's praying this case gets settled out of court in the next few days -- there's one thing a judge can't do: make people in Phoenix care about hockey.

[...] what standard or norm or objective reference point are they using to measure each other's views? Apart from God as the Moral Lawgiver, I do not know of another ground or basis that would give us the universally binding, intellectually upholding and emotionally satisfying answers to the questions we all ask in the existential struggles of our lives:
Politically, this relationship was at the centre of the "free trade elections" of 1891, 1911, and 1988, where opponents of free trade with the United States made the emotionally charged prediction that its adoption must lead inevitably to political assimilatioa Intellectually, Canadian nationalists have consistently argued that various modes of government protection - tariffs, industrial subsidies, foreign ownership restrictions, public ownership - are, and always will be, critical to the survival of the country as a sovereign political entity. To say this is not to suggest that the book contains nothing new; in fact, all 22 chapters present significant new material and assess recent developments across a very wide range of subject areas - from such familiar terrain as continental ener...
At [McNally]'s, I consider sandwiching my purchases between The New Yorker and Discover, but realize I will fool no one. They've never seen me purchase anything more intellectually challenging than a cookbook or a travel guide, so my reputation as a lowbrow has been cemented. Dear Goddess of All: As a former extremely thin person, I'd like to offer my secret. I didn't eat. I bought into the thin-is-beautiful image until I weighed 118 pounds. I'm 5-10. [Oprah], I photographed very well. I just had trouble standing. Maybe we shouldn't Think Like A Thin Person. Second, that they'd be better off mooching their father's Time magazine than flipping through my research copy of Seventeen.
At any rate he resorts to some odd examples: "What is time? A child might say, 'It's that stuff that flows by even when you're standing still.' " (Aside from "might" being an incorrect verb tense, it is difficult to imagine a child talking that way.) A somewhat distracting feature of his style is the occasional folksy, informal commentary, such as "we'll examine the evidence," "we will explore," and so on. [Dan Falk] argues that [Albert Einstein] remains a pivotal figure in questions relating to time. Even though many of the dilemmas Falk identifies belong to philosophy as much as to science, thinkers trying to resolve them are intellectually standing on Einstein's shoulders.
It took the particular philosophical confusion of our own age, however, to bring forth the latest wrinkle in anti-Semitism -- the anti-Semitic Jew. This phenomenon is part of a new movement popular among, although not confined to Western, left-wing intellectuals. It is rooted in self-loathing, a contempt for the values and beliefs that come out of Western civilization and sustain societies such as Israel. It is a kind of intellectual nihilism embraced by people who fear, perhaps, that all the best ideas have already been thought, so all that's left for them to do is to tear everything down. Add the antagonism towards Israel that is widely popular in the West today to this self-loathing intellectualism and the result is what has been called the new anti-Semitism. The attacks are no longe...

The Free Press editorially faults the Nobel committee for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama before he has achieved "tangible results" (Nobel taints prize, Oct. 10). But you ignore a recent major step of Obama toward world peace: He reversed ex-president Bush's program to build anti-Iranian missiles with missile bases in Poland, which Putin viewed as a grievous Cold War offence against Russia. Following Obama's reversal, Russia offered international co-operation for possible sanctions against Iran, after which Ahmadinejad conceded foreign inspection of Iran's newly exposed underground nuclear facility. For the present at least, the likelihood of Israel going to war against Iran by bombing its potential nuclear-bomb sites is postponed. Obama deserves credit for this. Whether ...

In the New England Centenarian study, Dr. [Thomas Perls] was able to understand what are the common denominators that predict longevity," says Dr. Fabio Varlese, program director of the acute care unit at Toronto's Baycrest Hospital and a specialist in internal and geriatric medicine. "Fewer centenarians are obese," says Varlese. "Most of the men who are centenarians are almost always lean." Considering that obesity is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and higher incidence of cancer, which represent the leading causes of death in industrialized countries, it is no surprise that most centenarians are trim. To keep the brain fit, longevity experts suggest doing crosswords and brain teasers, learning a new language or how to play a new musical instrument. "The brain should be stim...
