  1. Carnett: No adventurous spirit? Enjoy the feats of others

    I'm no sailor. As a matter of fact, I've been known to lose a meal over a vessel's heaving (no pun intended!) deck. It's a practice guaranteed to win few friends. But I do love a good maritime narrative that depicts human courage and conflict and...

  4. Valerie Sayers on Joe DiMaggio and "The Powers"

    In "The Powers," Valerie Sayers' long-awaited sixth novel — her first since "Brain Fever" (1996) — the great Yankees slugger Joe DiMaggio is embarking on his historic hitting streak of 1941, riveting Americans as much as or more than the news from Europe, where World War II is gathering its terrible momentum. Like many athletes, Sayers' DiMaggio is deeply superstitious, so much so that he believes he can foresee the future — his own and that of America itself, including the attack on Pearl Harbor.

  7. Philadelphian jumps on tracks to help fallen man

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The recovering drug addict with a long rap sheet who had just sat down on the bench at a north Philadelphia train station often wondered if he was a good person, and perhaps never considered that anyone thought he was a hero to anybody.

  11. Heroism stands out after Boston Marathon horror

    Monday's bombing at the Boston Marathon was shocking, infuriating, devastating. Three died, including an 8-year-old boy who had waited at the finish line to greet his father. Scores were injured, some losing limbs, in what President Obama labeled "an act of terror."
