	So even Peter Ueberroth is fallible. He tried to serve too many
masters. Afraid of being too soft or too hard he came out wishy-washy.
Baaseball was wounded by the drug scandal. Being punitive rather than
compassionate only serves to reopen that wound. Is it fair that any
player caught in the future will suffer no punishment? They will only
have to undergo rehabilitation. These guys are being used as scapegoats.
They did their government a favor by testifying. They did baseball a 
favor by bringing its drug problem out in the open. Any profession
that has high salaries is going to have a drug problem. (Computer
Science is not exempt.) Why don't we follow the lead of basketball. These
guys have one strike. If they get two more they're out.
