 Baseball's Back-Seat Commissioner - Fay Vincent likes to grumble about Bud Selig. But could he have done any better? By ...
The problems that have plagued baseball in the decade since Vincent abandoned the throne are essentially threefold: dwindling public enthusiasm for the sport, relative to its competitors; poorly run teams; and the rapidly accelerating divide in earnings potential between small- and large-market teams, as caused by the boom of regional cable networks.
Vincent's radical solution to the problems posed by independent owners drawing low revenues is basically to get rid of them by starving them of any help and making them vulnerable to buyouts from corporate predators.
Vincent oversaw plans for baseball's first expansion (the Marlins and Rockies) since 1977, but he was not in favor of the league's continued growth, favoring instead the relocation of struggling franchises that is the norm in the NFL and NHL.

On immigration, for example, where the two main parties have traded tough rhetoric, Cable is relieved that the Lib Dems have 'refused to be drawn into this cheap and demeaning debate, in terms set by Michael Howard, which Blair has rather cravenly followed'.
Cable also refuses to play along with the auction of promises between Gordon Brown and his Tory counterpart, Oliver Letwin, both of whom are promising that, by slashing billions of pounds of waste from Britain's bureaucracy, they can spend more on public services without having to raise taxes.
Cable also criticises Brown's tendency to go for policy 'gizmos', without understanding how difficult they are to implement.

 History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Cable & Wireless
The cables were duplicated; in 1882 the Carcavelos-Madeira section by CS Seine, and in1884 the Madeira-St Vincent section by CS Scotia, and the St Vincent-Pernambuco section by CS Scotia and CS Calabria.
The cable, laid in 1874 between Para and Demerara by CS Hooper, was abandoned in 1876 and the two systems had to rely on a landline connection until La Société des Télégraphes Sous-Marin laid a cable from Para to Martinique.
In 1873 the IRGP laid a cable from Montevideo to Punta Lara, Argentina, and this was later diverted to replace the landline.

One of the main casualties is Matthew Taylor, who cedes the post of Treasury spokesman to Vincent Cable, a former chief economist with Shell who served as an adviser to the Labour leader John Smith when he was a minister in the Callaghan government.
During the Liberal Democrat conference I posted a couple of comments querying why the economically illiterate Matthew Taylor was still in his post and commending Vincent Cable, and it would be churlish of me now to refrain from saying that Charles Kennedy has made a good decision.
If we are to look on the positive side we might hope that Vincent Cable use his position to influence both his own party and the debate in general.

It's only fair to add - and I always strive for fairness and balance in my discussions of the Liberal Democrats - that Vincent Cable really is a first-rate economist, and has one of the best intellects in the Commons (which is, I suppose, a bit like saying someone is the finest poet in Wotton-under-Edge).
He made a good speech at his party's conference calling for an overdue application of economic liberalism to the postal service; both the worth of the proposal and the problem with its coming from that party are neatly summarised by Peter Riddell in The Times:
