...Pistons-Celtics and Lakers-Celtics match-ups at the time, so the Bulls versus the Motor City Champs was the most passionate rivalry that I had seen. Along with the help of Scottie Pippen and the Zenmaster Phil Jackson, Jordan was able to exercise three consecutive years of Bad Boy playoff demons with a convincing sweep of the back-to-back champions in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals. Chicago went on the beat the Magic Johnson-led Lakers, the Team of the '80s, in five games and a dynasty was born...
...emotional outcry over Elian, a custody case that has now cost taxpayers over $500,000, is understandable, especially within the Cuban-American community. However, the American public needs to reexamine the values that place the case of a Cuban boy so far above that of a Haitian girl. The war against Communism is ended. Castro no longer represents a dangerous threat to American national security, (if it ever did) and the Cuban Embargo may soon be lifted...
...worry about besides the Tabasco-bottle count, and one can imagine the arguments--Freaks is too oddball, Felicity has had two years to prove itself, Roswell boasts one set too many of pretty teen faces. But consider the series premises they're choosing from for next fall: a boy millionaire helps people by means of a website; a rock band contacts the dead with a magic amulet; Bette Midler plays a woman who's a lot like Bette Midler. Those nuts firing off e-mail could be the best friends TV bosses, and the rest of us, have...
...that this 19-year-old drug dealer decides to launch a campaign to become a New York City councilman doesn't seem a stretch. Especially since his mentors are themselves unconventional--Spencer Throckmorton, a black rabbi, and Inez Nomura, a Japanese-American activist. Beatty's second novel (The White Boy Shuffle was his first) is like an extended rap song, its characters recounting struggle and survival with the bravado of hip-hoppers. But then, that's exactly the attitude you need to be a Mover...
...teachers and support staff at Buell Elementary School in Flint, Mich., I am compelled to set the record straight about the day that six-year-old Kayla Rolland was shot by her classmate. Contrary to the account of the student that TIME published [NATION, March 13], the little boy who shot Kayla did not have a knife taken away from him the morning of the shooting. Officials who interviewed the staff after the shooting concluded that no one knew anything about a knife (or a gun) before the attack. Michigan has a tough, zero-tolerance law regarding weapons in schools...
