“Before 1914 the earth belonged to the entire human race.
Everyone could go where he wanted and stay there as long as he liked. No permits or visas were necessary…”
And indeed, perhaps nothing more graphically illustrates the monstrous relapse the world suffered after the First World War than the restrictions on personal freedom of movement and civil rights. Before 1914 the earth belonged to the entire human race. Everyone could go where he wanted and stay there as long as he liked. No permits or visas were necessary, and I am always enchanted by the amazement of young people when I tell them that before 1914 I travelled to India and America without a passport. Indeed, I had never set eyes on a passport. You boarded your means of transport and got off it again, without asking or being asked any questions; you didn't have to fill in a single one of the hundred forms required today. No permits, no visas, nothing to give you trouble; the borders that today, thanks to the pathological distrust felt by everyone for everyone else, are a tangled fence of red tape were then nothing but symbolic lines on the map, and you crossed them as unthinkingly as you can cross the meridian in Greenwich. It was not until after the war that National Socialism began destroying the world, and the first visible symptom of that intellectual epidemic of the present century was xenophobia- hatred or at least fear of foreigners.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

It’s hard to imagine what it was to see Fernando Valenzuela when he came up. His first eight starts, all complete games, 4 earned runs *total*. Won rookie of the year, the Cy Young, and the World Series that year.
For those too young to understand what Fernando Valenzuela meant to Mexico, to Los Angeles, to baseball, here are numbers from the first eight starts of his career in 1981. He was 20. He threw a devastating screwball. And for a month, he was the biggest sports star in the world.

They’re reminiscent of this cover you posted a few weeks ago.
