...floundering because what worked all season long no longer works, the Bulls have slowly and systematically begun to exert their own will. Thus their big games were rarely shoot-outs. Nor were they always artistic, or if they were artistic, it was only for those fans who loved the concept of skilled, highly intelligent players' stealing another team's game in front of a national audience.

It has only taken one small, first step in pursuing its national interests and security.
