I'm overselling it, but there what actually is significant about the 70-game mark is that it's about 70 percent of the way to the trade deadline, the drop-dead date on the baseball calendar at which teams have to decide whether to go in or cash out; less metaphorically, it's when teams either gear up to improve for the stretch run or tear down for next year.

He's headed for the Marshall Islands, and he can see one of their atolls, but everything else about him — his recent breakup with his fiancée, his foolhardy decision to embark on this trip alone, the missile defense job that brought him here and the pesky fact that he has sliced open his leg, which is now infected and immobilized — speaks to a man, and maybe a country, metaphorically adrift.
|

In Studio Physically, the Parisian sculptor and furniture-maker Philippe Anthonioz works from a studio near the Bastille in the bohemian 11th Arrondissement, but metaphorically, he also works in a shadow: His father, Bernard, son of the sculptor Charles Anthonioz, was an official in the administration of André Malraux, the novelist whom Charles de Gaulle named Minister of Cultural Affairs; his mother, Geneviève, was de Gaulle's niece and a legendary Resistance fighter.
