from the March 28, 2008 edition - http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0328/p14s03-algn.html Monitor Picks Five things we think you'll like this week, including Julie Andrews's self-guided tour of 'Home,' autobiography, travel host Michael Palin's new adventures with vampires, and justified hulu.com hoopla. Amazing Amazon Jean-Michel Cousteau (son of Jacques) retraces a trip he took with his father 25 years ago in PBS's two-part Return to the Amazon (April 2 and 9). With gorgeous photography and scientific precision, Cousteau sounds the alarm about the destruction of the planet's most important forest. The full ex-Monty Michael Palin is England's answer to Rick Steves. Except that the Monty Python comedian is more interested in cultural insights than seeing the sights – though the scenery is unfailingly gorgeous – as he explores former Soviet satellite countries in the New Europe. On the DVD, Palin chats with land-mine excavators in Bosnia, survives vampiric tourist traps in Transylvania, and drives a tank in the former East Germany. Hulu hoopla Missed last week's "Saturday Night Live," or do you wish you could revisit episodes of "The Simpsons" from, say, a decade ago? Now you can burrow into the archives of Fox and NBC for TV shows and movies at hulu.com. Just like rabbit-ear TV, it's free (with ads). Around the digital diamond The crack of the bat. The roar of the crowd. The constant bickering of the tried-and-true hardball fanatic. If you love all three sounds, visit the baseball section of the Most Valuable Network (http://mvn.com/mlb/). This slice of home-run heaven aggregates blog content from all corners of the country and from every team and sprinkles in articles from MLB.com. The sound of music-making Julie Andrews's memoir may be titled Home, but it's a reference to the stage rather than her childhood household, a troubled abode that could have used a visit from Mary Poppins or Maria. With typical elegance and grace, the first lady of musical theater describes her apprenticeship under the likes of Rex Harrison and Richard Burton during the years that she became a star.

All hail Ernie Banks: A star joins baseball's 'Bronze Age' When the Chicago Cubs play their home opener on March 31, the team will immortalize Ernie Banks, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Cubs (1953-71), by unveiling a statue of him at Wrigley Field. The team is slow in honoring the man they call Mr. Cub in this way, given that 14 other teams have already erected statues to former playing greats. The club did, however, retire his uniform number in 1982, five years after he was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame – a career that saw him hit 512 home runs as a two-time National League MVP and perennial all-star shortstop. The teams that have unveiled statues to former players at their ballparks, with the number in parentheses, and the names of the greats: • St. Louis Cardinals (10): Bob Gibson; Lou Brock; Enos Slaughter; Red Schoendienst; Stan Musial; Dizzy Dean; Ozzie Smith; Rogers Hornsby; George Sisler, a star of the old St. Louis Browns; and James "Cool Papa" Bell, a Negro leagues great who played for the St. Louis Stars • Chicago White Sox (4): Nellie Fox; Luis Aparicio; Carlton Fisk; and Minnie Minoso • Cincinnati Reds (4): Joe Nuxhall; Ted Kluszewski; Ernie Lombardi; and Frank Robinson • Philadelphia Phillies (4): Richie Ashburn; Robin Roberts; Steve Carlton; and Mike Schmidt • Atlanta Braves (3): Hank Aaron; Phil Niekro; and Ty Cobb • Pittsburgh Pirates (3): Honus Wagner; Roberto Clemente; and Willie Stargell • Detroit Tigers (2): Ty Cobb and Al Kaline • Kansas City Royals (2): George Brett and Frank White • San Francisco Giants (2): Willie Mays and Willie McCovey • Milwaukee Brewers (1): Hank Aaron, in honor of his years with the Milwaukee Braves • Boston Red Sox (1): Ted Williams • Texas Rangers (1): Nolan Ryan • Baltimore Orioles (1): Babe Ruth, who never played for the Orioles but was born in Baltimore • San Diego Padres (1): Tony Gwynn • Chicago Cubs (1): Ernie Banks Full HTML version of this story which may include photos, graphics, and related links
