Even the most casual fan will like having Pitino around next season, matching wits with Jackson and Pat Riley and Lenny Wilkens. Besides, the Celts have been away too long--1986 was their last title. "I can promise you that in the next few years, we will raise another championship banner," said Pitino. Everybody in Boston believes...
Such was life with father, 1993-96. "In the family sense," he says, "I was fulfilled and happy, living the life of Chester A. Riley." But half of him was missing--his professional life on the sound stage. "I didn't have my eye in a viewfinder, except the one little High-8 video camera I used to take home movies of my kids," he recalls.

Huang, who has become the symbol of shady Democratic fund raising, was then an executive with the Indonesia-based Lippo Group conglomerate, and interested in positions at Commerce, Treasury and the office...
...become the head coach of the Indiana Pacers. But at a reported $4.5 million a year, along with part ownership and a promise to succeed president Donnie Walsh, the 40 year-old Bird will be much more than the Pacers' coach. Like Pitino and the Celtics and Pat Riley and the Heat, the very identity of the Pacers is now indistinguishable from that of Larry Bird. Which is exactly how the Pacers like it. The self-described "hick from French Lick" is an institution in Indiana, nearly to the degree he has been in Boston. Yet it is perhaps fitting...
