This week in the saga

Home from Asia, and the throne room turns petty. Three freed ballplayers bow on television; their thanks is weighed and found wanting, and when one father refuses to bow at all, the roar comes: he should have left them in jail. The old rival's book still sits in shop windows — the worst and biggest loser of all time, the feed declares. And in a half-empty stadium a lone player sits through the anthem. Gratitude, everywhere, is in short supply.
