...riot in Detroit also set off a second battle across the country, as everyone from sports-radio yakkers to families gathered for Thanksgiving dinner tried to assign blame for the rise of incivility in spectator sports--the athletes or the fans? Call it a jump ball. It's easy to view Artest and Wallace as typical modern athletes: too wealthy and too self-involved. Traveling in chartered jets, surrounded by hangers- on, coddled by agents, they have more in common with CEOs than ordinary Joes. But the distance between athletes and the people who pay to see them...
...rest of the season, costing him some $5.5 million in lost wages. Indiana's Stephen Jackson, who accompanied him into the stands, was docked 30 games, and Jermaine O'Neal, who clocked one fan from a running start, got 25. (Anthony Johnson, another Pacer, got a five-game rest; Detroit's Wallace, whose shove of Artest set off the chain of events, was iced for six.) The NBA Players Association has appealed Artest's suspension as unreasonable.

Jane Schaberg, an iconoclastic feminist critic at the University of Detroit Mercy, has long maintained that parts of Luke's introduction to the topic echo the beginning of an Old Testament passage on rape ("If there be a virgin betrothed to a man, and if another ... should have lain with her"), suggesting violation as the cause of Mary's pregnancy...
Wolfgang Bernhard says he "wanted to learn the business hands on, rather than be a remote-control, distant manager." So when he was sent by Daimler-Chrysler executives in Germany to help steer their struggling Chrysler unit in Detroit, Bernhard worked three days a month on the company's factory floor. Bernhard's innovations paid off: the company was the only U.S. carmaker to pick up market share this year. But when Bernhard opposed giving the troubled Mitsubishi unit an injection of $2 billion, he found himself without a job. Volkswagen quickly offered Bernhard a high-powered encore: as chairman...
