...coach Phil Jackson, who publicly feuds with both blowhard Bulls general manager Jerry Krause and cheapskate owner Jerry Reinsdorf. Jordan steadfastly refuses to play without Jackson. That could probably be resolved (suck it up for one more year, Krause). But Jordan, 35, most likely won't return without sidekick Scottie Pippen. Pippen originally refused to play this year, despises Krause even more than do Jackson and Jordan (who, high-school-style, doesn't say hi to Krause when they pass in the halls). In fact, he is so eager to go to another team to prove he's the second...
...nervous about who will appear on the final night. There are some perfect moments of celebrity humiliation: Larry chases Warren Beatty in the parking lot and asks him to be a guest to say goodbye. Beatty says, "I could say goodbye to you now." Larry's needy sidekick, Hank, and his blustering producer, Artie, have always been at the center of the show, and in the last episode too they have wonderful scenes.

Perhaps he learned to draw like that from listening to the pictures his sidekick Murrow broadcast from London. It's an art that, with limited exceptions, has disappeared with Friendly...
...straddle motorcycles instead of horses, and they smoke marijuana instead of tobacco. But the central characters in Easy Rider are as remote as the freedom they are seeking. Wyatt (Peter Fonda) is a vague, unshaven pothead who likes to refer to himself as "Captain America." His manic sidekick Billy (Dennis Hopper) has a droopy Stephen Crane mustache and shiny eyes fixed on some wild interior vision. Flush from the profits of dope selling, the cyclists symbolically cast off their wristwatches and head for that persistent American symbol of adventure, the Road. In his first major role, Jack Nicholson proves that...
