Question: Back in 2000   Rich Cohen  went on a mission.
The magazine writer  put on the literary map two years earlier with the book "Tough Jews " flew to Chicago to chronicle the legendary losing of  his  favorite baseball team for the esteemed pages of Harper's. It was such an unlikely assignment that the Cubs' hitting coach  Hall of Fame slugger Billy Williams  was convinced there was no such magazine as Harper's;  Cohen  must have made it up to get free tickets.
 Cohen 's observations included Mark Grace's smoking habits (a cigarette at his locker before and after every game)  Joe Girardi's naked body ("old-fashioned  a body from the Great Depression: thick torso and heavy arms  social realism  a WPA poster")  and Sammy Sosa's daily boombox battles with his teammates. They liked loud Pearl Jam. He liked even louder salsa music.  Cohen  wrote: "Today  and each day  it ended with the Pearl Jam turned down and turned off. It was not hard to tell how Sosa's teammates felt about this."
The Cubs lost seven straight games while  Cohen  was on their trail  reinforcing everything  he  was there to see: misery  piled up for generations. The piece is essential reading for any Cubs fan  precisely because  Cohen  is one of us  trying to make sense of it all: "For every Cub fan  there is a season  an inning  an at bat  when all hope is lost  when  at long last  he becomes disillusioned and realizes with dread certainty that no matter how good its prospects the team will never win."
Now  at last   Cohen  gets to update the story.
But how did we get here? Why did such futility endure? What scars were wrought across generations of the fan base? These are the questions  Cohen  takes up  and  he  hints at  his  own scars as early as the dedication. It is to  his  four sons  who "will grow up with the nonsensical idea that the Chicago Cubs are a great baseball team."
To those of us who suffered long enough —  Cohen   me  probably you (any White Sox fan stumbling onto this presumably bailed paragraphs ago) — it still sometimes doesn't quite seem possible. That shared sentiment is part of the book's power.  Cohen  tells a story that is all of ours: "When I was 13  I began going to Cubs games on my own. This was my first taste of adulthood. I've associated Wrigley Field with freedom ever since."

Weaving between history lesson  memoir and fairly faithful sports reporting  "The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse" is a brisk and engaging read. It's hard to say much new or novel about the Cubs — probably no team has had more words spent in a bid to understand it — but  Cohen  does  his  best and employs an advantage even beyond  his  skilled storytelling:  He  has lived a life of good fortune.
Not only has  he  been on the front lines for Harper's  Sports Illustrated  Vanity Fair  Rolling Stone and The New Yorker  but also we learn that  Cohen 's father  legendary negotiation expert Herb Cohen  was friendly with former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda (we get an amusing personal anecdote from it) and Ernie Banks (an even better personal anecdote).
Along the way   Cohen  grapples with the hiccups — '84  '89  '03  '07 and '08 — along with the question of why the Cubs could never pull it out. The answer  of course  is not a literal curse. There may be no single answer  but  Cohen  sifts through a handful of compelling options. The "schizo" ballpark  which offered no true home field advantage. Bad ownership (meaning  in part  the Tribune Company — sorry everyone!). Bad organizational culture. It's not a new insight  but it's a fascinating one: In Chapter 11  current Cubs owner Tom Ricketts says winning the World Series is a fluke. Once you're in the playoffs  he says  any team can win it: "The fact is  when you go back and look  you'll see there's little correlation between how many games you win during a season and how far you go in the postseason. Almost zero." Simply  all the Cubs needed to do all these years was build a core of talent to consistently reach the playoffs. Then a World Series would inevitably have happened. Instead  the franchise was doomed by a lack of vision.

Answer: Rich Cohen


Question: "Bush wanted to do the right thing by fulfilling this humanitarian impulse ," says Chow . 
In so doing , Chow contends , Bush paved the way for an era in which global health assistance has become a prominent new instrument of U.S. statecraft . 
By contrast , only a few Americans have ever heard of PEPFAR , the U.S. President 's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief , which President Bush announced in his State of the Union address in 2003 . 
The name might surprise you : it 's George W. Bush . 
That 's partly because the United States has done very little to publicize the success of PEPFAR , and partly because the Bush presidency was overshadowed by much more high-profile aspects of his foreign policy -LRB- such as the invasion of Iraq -RRB- . 
Indeed , Bush still enjoys high popularity ratings in Africa , where he 's widely regarded as one of the continent 's great benefactors . 
At the same time , I think it 's a tragedy that the foreign policy shortcomings of the Bush administration have conspired to obscure his most positive legacy -- not least because it saved so many lives , but because there 's so much that Americans and the rest of the world can learn from it . 
"Bush did more to stop AIDS and more to help Africa than any president before or since ," says New York Times correspondent Peter Baker , who 's writing a history of the Bush-Cheney White House that 's due to appear in October . 
If it were n't for Iraq , it would be one of the main things history would remember about Bush , and it still should be part of any accounting of his presidency ." 
In his 2003 speech , President Bush called upon Congress to sponsor an ambitious program to supply antiretroviral drugs and other treatments to HIV sufferers in Africa .

Answer: George W Bush


Question: The shooter  Stephen Paddock  64  was seen on numerous occasions in Las Vegas without any person accompanying him and he gambled the night before the shooting   Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo  said at a news conference.  He  killed  himself  after the attack.
âThis individual purposely hid  his  actions leading up to this event  and it is difficult for us to find the answers â said  Lombardo   who said  he  was frustrated with the speed of the investigation.
Paddock sprayed an outdoor concert with bursts of gunfire from high above in a Las Vegas hotel window on Oct. 1  killing 58 and wounding hundreds more  before shooting  himself .
âIn coordination with the FBIâs behavioral analysis unit  a comprehensive picture is being drawn as to the suspectâs mental state and currently we do not believe there is one particular event in the suspectâs life for us to key on â  Lombardo  said.
There is no indication anyone other than Paddock fired on the crowd   Lombardo  said  adding investigators are talking to family members and the girlfriend of the gunman.
Paddock shot and wounded a security guard who came to his floor at the Mandalay Bay hotel to investigate an open door down near Paddockâs suite   Lombardo  said  providing new details on what occurred immediately before the mass shooting.
Paddock shot the guard at 9:59 p.m. local time   Lombardo  said  shortly before raining down bullets on the Route 91 Harvest festival in an attack that began at 10:05 p.m. and lasted 10 minutes.
Paddock had a document in the room with him that contained numbers   Lombardo  said  adding  he  could not immediately say what purpose the figures served.
Las Vegas police officer David Newton told CBS News program â60 Minutesâ on Sunday that  he  entered the room and saw a note on the shooterâs nightstand with numbers that appeared to be designed to help  his  aim.
It was unclear why Paddock stopped firing at the crowd  suggesting he may have initially planned to escape   Lombardo  said.
 He  shot at jet fuel tanks at McCarran International Airport and had protective gear in the hotel suite and explosives in  his  parked car   Lombardo  said.

Answer:
Joseph Lombardo
