National Museums Liverpool Blog (Free subscription) | 10/01/2008
The following poem was written in September 2008 by Matthew, aged 20, following a visit to see ‘ The Liverpool Cityscape’ by art teachers and inmates from the Learning and Skills section at Thorn Cross Young Offenders Institute in Warrington. In the video on the gallery Ben Johnson (who painted the cityscape) says he hopes that visitors will put themselves in the picture - populate it with their minds...

NY Mets: Fire Randolph and Extend Minaya???

How many others are just as confused as I am with the Mets decision to extend the contract of GM Omar Minaya? Is this the same guy that made the following decisions: Traded Lastings Milledge for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church Traded Heath Bell and Royce Ring for Jon Adkins and Ben Johnson Traded Guillermo Mota for Johnny Estrada Traded Brian Bannister for Ambiorix Burgos Signed an injury-prone Luis...

Robert Farley and the Party of Defeat
American Power (Free subscription) | 09/26/2008
I'm reading David Horowitz and Ben Johnson's Party of Defeat , so I found Robert Farley 's review of the book rather odd (even oddly unbalanced): I found it impossible to engage with this work as serious scholarship, and impossible to take it seriously as polemic. The book is unlikely to convince anyone who has not already been convinced of the perfidy of the Democratic Party. Indeed, in tone and approach...

After all these years we finally have a name!
Out Of Left Field (Free subscription) | 09/24/2008
It's been 20-years, yes, but that there is finally a name being put to the mystery man who allegedly sabotaged Ben Johnson's pee is probably worth a post of its own. And, somehow it's fitting that it isn't a Canadian source that's reporting it. Actually, the Times Online article might be the most conspiracy theory sympathetic article ever written. "...Neverthless, it is curious that a friend

God, can Stephen Brunt write. The Globe has been running a series of articles that mark the twentieth anniversary of Ben Johnson (telling is that there is no need to expand that thought. Ben Johnson is all any Canadian, anyone period, needs to see to understand what is being discussed). Canada's best sportswriter (it's not a close race) weighs in today. More of the worthwhile series can be

Twenty years ago he injected the world with steroids, now he's writing a book: Ben Johnson's famous run not done yet
Steroid Nation (Free subscription) | 09/23/2008
Twenty years ago, in the shot injected around the world (unless it was oral), Ben Johnson's shocking positive test at the 1998 Seoul Olympics really shocked a sleepy world to the reality of track doping. The controversial test showed stanozolol (Winstrol) in the sprinter's urine. Thus began a long road to the institution of the World Anti-Doping Agency, alleged Carl Lewis' sabotage, and Johnson's inclusion...
