Maris wants claims probed

Roger Maris's son, Kevin Maris, wants claims probed. I agree. I hope what they say about Big Mac is untrue but I want to know if Barry Bonds was cheating as well.

This piece of work comes from Business Week, where everything weekly is business:
Many New Democrats who say that the party will never reclaim the Presidency without appealing to centrist swing voters are touting Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. In a reverse-Clinton move, the decidedly moderate Bayh reached out to party liberals by casting 1 of just 13 dissenting votes against Rice's confirmation. And those who think a Washington outsider has the best chance are talking up a handful of "red state" governors, including Mark R. Warner of Virginia and Tom Vilsack of Iowa. Mindful that the last two Democratic Presidents were Southern governors, Sonenshein notes, "a governor from a small state is a better candidate on paper than a senator from a big state." The trouble for all these would-be contenders is that they don't have the name recognition, fund-raising abilities, or national organization of Clinton or Kerry.
