I am very excited to see Canada's Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
I remember 92 & 93 very well.
I have been a huge baseball fan my entire life.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a very formidable opponent who will be heavily favoured to win.
Keep the faith Canada.

Susan Orlean’s profile of an orchid poacher, published in this magazine in 1995, inspired Charlie Kaufman’s movie “Adaptation.” Jennifer Wilson reflects on Orlean’s stormy, sensual prose. #NewYorker100

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.
