No More Curtain Calls For "BALCO Barry"

I really don’t want to devote much time to posting about Barry Bonds and the four-count perjury indictment handed down against him yesterday, but I’m only mentioning this to provide an opportunity to revisit this column about Bonds written by the late, great David Halberstam. As with many people of talent, the author spends a sizeable amount of effort here featuring himself (interesting though Halberstam’s life was), but what he writes about Bonds is typically dead-on accurate.
