“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.” —Babe Ruth The “Babe” was born George Herman Ruth in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1895. By age seven, he was known as an incorrigible child due to many counts of misbehavior. Perhaps due to his parents’ long work hours, they signed over custody of young George to the Xaverian Brothers at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, which was both a reformatory school and an orphanage. St. Mary’s served as his home for the next 12 years. At St. Mary’s, George found a mentor in Brother Matthias, a man who...

I suppose this is true, but I found it heartbreaking. I asked what changed. She said she didn't enjoy sex. I feel she misled me until after the wedding when she...

"Passengers should be very skeptical of airline mergers," says Tolga Turgut, an associate professor at Florida Institute of Technology's College of Aeronautics. "They usually lead...
