	Carlton Fisk \| BaseballLibrary.com
		A true New Englander, Fisk was born in Vermont, attended the University of New Hampshire, and in January 1967 was the first-round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox, the fourth player chosen in the nation.
		Fisk's leaping gyrations down the first base line as he urged the ball to stay fair were recorded by NBC's television cameras, and placed the "reaction shot" into the vocabulary of baseball TV producers.
		Fisk was involved in a memorable confrontation in May 1990, when he berated the Yankees' Deion Sanders for not running out a popup.

	Shifting Truths By Robert Fisk
		Jim was the son of my dad's sister Freda and he was on the Repulse when she was sunk by Japanese aircraft on 10 December, 1941.
		Jim was saved and brought back to Singapore, only to be captured when the British surrendered.
		I wasn't thinking of Jim when I walked into the great Shinto shrine in central Tokyo where Japan's war dead are honoured; not just the "banzai-banzai" poor bloody infantry variety, but the kamikazes, the suicide pilots who crashed their Zero fighter-bombers on to American aircraft carriers.

		Fisk's moral perspective and lucid writing are particularly welcome since he's a reporter on the scene, not a commentator.
		Fisk was utterly horrified by 9/11 like everyone else, but it didn't prevent him from criticizing the US when he thought it was warranted.
		Fisk has also become a figure of fun because - although he's supposed to be a reporter - his screeds often bear no relation to facts.

		Cleaning for appearance by removing “big” visible soil rather than cleaning for health by removing “small” invisible bacteria, dust particles under 10 microns, airborne aerosols, excess moisture and other micro, bio and chemical contaminants, has contributed largely to the problem of unhealthy indoor environments.
		At a medical catheter factory, the catheter tube rejection rate from airborne contamination was reduced from 10 percent to 4 percent when the cleaning contractor implemented critical environment backpack vacuums with HEPA filtration—a 250 percent improvement.
		According to Fisk and Rosenfeld: “calculations indicate that the potential financial benefits of improving indoor environments exceed costs by a factor of 8 to 17.” Taking the steps to address the “small” soil will help ensure your facility not only looks clean but also stays healthy—and wins big.

	Civil War by Design? - Robert Fisk

		The premise that Fisk eludes to, which is that the U.S. is purposefully facilitating the destabilization of Iraq, is in fact the reality.
		Israel and Big Oil might have an easier time in pursuing their aims, which seemed to have converged after 50 years of conflict.

	ESPN Classic - The best World Series games since Fisk
		In Game 6, the two tossed seven scoreless innings at each other before another journeyman (journeymen were very big in 1985, although not as big as Journey-men like Steve Perry and Neal Schon), catcher Brian Harper, singled home Tito Landrum to give the Cardinals the lead.
		In the bottom of the sixth inning, though, Justice got the noise he was looking for, hitting a solo home run off Jim Poole that gave the Braves the lead.
		The 1986 World Series had the most memorable moment since Carlton Fisk pogo-sticked down the first-base line, but this game, this masterpiece, was one of the best baseball games of the 20th century.

		Colorful figures of Wall Street included Jay Gould and Jim Fisk who, in 1869, precipitated one of the worst panics in American financial history by trying to corner the gold market.
		Almost lynched, the two were hauled into court, where Fisk whined, "A fellow can't have a little innocent fun without everybody raising a halloo and going wild." Then there was Jay Cooke, who invented the national bond drive and, practically unaided, financed the Union effort in the Civil War.

	Reason Magazine - Fisk on Hariri's Murder
		As a follow-up to my exchange with Raimondo in an earlier post today on the how's of the Hariri assassination, this piece by Robert Fisk in The Independent (taken from the Aounist movement's website) suggests that the theory of a suicide bomber is, at best, questionable.
		The UN's Irish, Egyptian and Moroccan investigation team has now been joined by three Swiss bomb experts following the discovery that many of the smashed vehicles in Hariri's convoy were moved from the scene of the massacre only hours after the bombing and before any time for an independent investigation.
		To answer Young's question, no, they will not believe Fisk, one of their own.

		Of this tragedy, Winston Churchill wrote, and his words are likely to apply to the US in Iraq: "At first, the steps were wide and shallow, covered with a carpet, but in the end the very stones crumbled under their feet.
		Fisk's theme is that European intervention has always been excused as an effort at liberation, has never succeeded in that, and that another such effort will likely be equally futile.
