Breaking News: Officials: Two airliners received hijacking threats, but both landed safely in N.Y.
The fact that it was two of them is... disturbing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Honorable Doris Ling-Cohan is like the quintessential NY name.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
JOSE CANSECO!!! Corleone should hire him!
Dude. This is the guy who had a ball he was trying to field bounce off his head and into the stands for a home run. I don't want him bodyguarding anybody.
it would make baseball a more interesting game if it was full contact, although I suspect that the players' careers would be a lot shorter.
How quickly we forget the July 24 brawl game! N.b. I don't actually approve of fighting in baseball, but if you're an AL East fan, you have no shortage of full-contact.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One ball bouncing off his head versus volunteering for repeated pounding to the face? Who would you want as a bodyguard?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dude, she's got some life experience backing up her judgments. How many American judges have worked in sweatshops?
As a twelve-year-old, she accompanied her mother to a hearing for a man accused of assaulting her mother. That she and her mother had no idea how to find their way around the courthouse and that there seemed to be no information available to those who did not speak English left a lasting impression on her.
In high school, Ling-Cohan worked part time as a seamstress and a threadcutter in the sewing factories of Chinatown. Supporting herself, she studied psychology at Brooklyn College and received her degree summa cum laude in 1976. She went on to New York University School of Law on a full scholarship, graduating in 1979.

Hence my use of the word "ostensibly". Ty Cobb sliding in cleats up certainly puts a lie to baseball never being a contact sport. As does the picture they used on the cover of the King/O'Nan book. I LOVE that picture - only Jeter would have been a worthier glove-to-smug-face target (if only the catcher had figured out a way to get a cream pie in his glove beforehand).
