THIS WEEK

Major business events and economic events scheduled for the coming week (some dates are tentative):

Fish story

Private property owners can be in deep trouble if they injure or kill a representative of an endangered species on their own land. There have even been cases of government agents raiding private sanctuaries — mere amateurs can’t be allowed to undertake such efforts without government supervision, you see. They might not know what they’re doing.

Shocked — shocked! — over the hookers

How dare we stigmatize those delicate soiled doves of the street by publishing their booking mugs on the front page of this past Sunday’s newspaper?

Unless you’ve been vacationing on Mars the past couple of weeks, there is no way you could have missed the latest in baseball’s adventures in steroids. It seems now the perceived last bastion of athletic purity — one Alex Rodriguez — has been outed as a steroid injector in the early part of this decade.
