...take on a teen delinquent genre that goes back at least to the 1955 Blackboard Jungle. The setting: a high school with such a rotten history that it has been destroyed (and rebuilt) six times. Seven may be the charm, since one of the students is a decent kid: our hero, Kamiyama (dishy Takamasa Suga). In the first reel, he writes a letter home: "Oh, mom I?m a bit confused. Everyone looks like a yakuza." That?s not quite fair to the rain-gutter coalition on view at CHS. There?s gorilla sitting at one classroom desk...
...still crazy when I walk around and I see people wearing my jersey, people wearing my shoes," said Wade, whose jersey sales are tops in the NBA, and who has a sneaker contract with Converse. "It's still weird to me but I'm sure some kid will go out in the backyard and try to be like me, and that's great." An NBA great who is startled by his own stardom? Now that's rarefied...

...Midway through Saturday's show, the group gave a rare public performance of the title track of Kid A, a levitating lullaby about the double-edged knife of celebrity.

And for a couple of transcendent hours, they...
...Among Ripstein's regular opponents are Payne, who is given to theatrical effusions onstage, and Al Sanders, a friendly fellow from Fort Collins, Colo., who has been often a finalist but never a winner. But in 2005 a kid gunslinger hit town: Tyler Hinman, 20, a student at Renssselaer Polytechnic Institute, who can do the Sunday Times puzzle in six to eight minutes. He also has a shrine to beer in his dorm room...
