...Pacific, Jordan could decide whether to re-retire. (He left for 1 1/2 years to play baseball, and--since he refused for a long time to talk to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED after it criticized him--let's just say as an outfielder he was an outstanding shooting guard.) His agent David Falk told TIME at Friday's game, "Being the great decision maker that he is, he's going to take some time after the season is over and get away from it for a while, and have a chance to really think it through and probably make a decision sometime...
There always has been. The daughter of a primal-scream therapist who became a lawyer and a fashion model and real estate agent who raised four kids, Ricci was a devoted reader of C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. She has conflicting memories of her young self. "I was the good child," she says, "always well behaved. Even if I wanted to kill someone."

Although he has refused to answer any questions about how close they were, Hashimoto last November admitted that the woman had interpreted for him and that he had written her and bought her a meal. Discreet marital infidelity among politicians rarely prompts much notice in Japan; involvement with...
...sweating container of a genius from New Orleans whose sensitivity and passion were epic in completely new terms. In his radical reinterpretations, Armstrong bent and twisted popular songs with his horn and his voice until they were shorn of sentimentality and elevated to serious art. He brought the change agent of swing to the world, the most revolutionary rhythm of his century. He learned how to dress and became a fashion plate. His slang was the lingua franca. Oh, he was something...
