Bill James has told me -- more than once -- that if he had a Hall of Fame vote, he would probably vote for the maximum of 10 players every year, or as close to 10 as he could justifiably go. As he wrote: "I would always prefer to vote for 10, because if everyone votes for 10, only two or three will be elected. If people leave spaces empty the expectation goes down dramatically."
The case: routine. One man's summary of the facts: anything but.

If Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, scheduled for May 3 this year, is known as the Woodstock of Capitalism, then perhaps this is the equivalent of Bob Dylan playing a private show in his own house: Some 15 times a year Berkshire CEO Warren Buffett invites a group of business students for an intensive day of learning. The students tour one or two of the company's businesses and then proceed to Berkshire headquarters in downtown Omaha, where Buffett opens the floor to two hours of questions and answers. Later everyone repairs to one of his favorite restaurants, where he treats them to lunch and root beer floats. Finally, each student gets the chance to pose for a photo with Buffett.
Music: it's an essential part of a director's armory, providing an aural canvas that enhances and underlines the visual effects on-screen.

Just about every inspired film emerges out of some kind of obsession. The singular haunting beauty of "I'm Not There," Todd Haynes' thrilling deep-vision meditation on the music and many lives of Bob Dylan, is that obsession isn't just its fuel -- it's the movie's spirit and subject, its driving force.
Until recently it seemed that Bob Dylan's ballad "Girl From the North Country" would be the last vestige of northern Minnesota's mining culture.

When GQ hits newsstands next week, it's not one, but three handsome covers vying for attention. For the magazine's annual Men of the Year issue (out Nov. 27), former president Bill Clinton, James Bond stud Daniel Craig and hip hop star Kanye West took top honors. Rounding out the expansive list is "icon" Tom Hanks, "father of the year" Seth Rogen, British import James McAvoy and "breakout of the year" Casey Affleck. Surprisingly enough, GQ includes some ladies: Cate Blanchett is recognized for her turn as Bob Dylan in I'm Not There and Hayden Panettiere is the "obsession of the year."– Kristin Boehm
