As thick as thieves? Not likely

Article Abstract:

Ford Open Prison has gained a reputation for having a relaxed regime, where prisoners are given many privileges. In fact, this is not really the case. The main feature of the prison is the large divide between a small number of rich prisoners and a large number of thieves, murders, drug addicts and petty criminals. The rich prisoners live in comfortable surroundings, and complain about the behaviour of the less privileged majority.

The tyranny of the slugger: why home runs are bad for baseball

Article Abstract:

The 1998 baseball season generated a record-setting 5,064 home runs and attracted almost 70 fans because of Mark McGwire's and Sammy Sosa's four-base heroics. While this may be good for business, it shadows the fact that most teams cannot financially sustain home run kings with a roster of talented players. It shifts the emphasis of the game from team competition to muscle-bound entertainment.
