You'd better believe that St. Louis is in a tizzy! You might just take a
look at the front of today's Post Dispatch:
(the item about the city razing the arena is a late addition; beneath it is
the story and picture that completely covered page 1 of this morning's
printed edition that I picked up on my sidewalk at 6 a.m.: McGwire just
after he crossed home plate, lifting up his 10-year-old son, who was acting
bat-boy, high into the air.)

add another befuddling fact about Jesus rather than to explain more fully
the sense of hH SOFIA hH DOQEISA TOUTWi.
