...quest for cool hooked Zhang Han early. An art student in a loose Donald Duck T shirt and Carhartt work pants, Zhang, 20, has gone from occasional basketball player to All-Star consumer. He pries open his bedroom closet to reveal 19 pairs of Air Jordans, a full line of Dunks and signature shoes of NBA stars like Vince Carter--more than 60 pairs costing $6,000. Zhang began gathering Nikes in the 1990s after a cousin sent some from Japan; his businessman father bankrolls his acquisitions. "Most Chinese can't afford this stuff," Zhang says, "but I know people...
...that amounts to a frayed shoelace compared with losing China's most famous living human. Yao Ming had worn Nike since Rhoads discovered him as a skinny kid with a sweet jumper--and brought him some size 18s made for NBA All-Star Alonzo Mourning. In 1999 he signed Yao to a four-year contract worth $200,000. But Nike let his contract expire last year. Yao defected to Reebok for an estimated $100 million.

Coincidentally, Edwards formed one-half of a lethal Edwards-to-Edwards combination with The Crimson’s star wideout Brian Edwards in high school in Los Gatos, Calif...

But Montrealers—we remember the five Expo all-stars. Hill pitched two scoreless innings. Cordero threw a runner out at home. Grissom homered off Randy Johnson. Darren Fletcher caught the top of the tenth. And Moises Alou doubled home Tony Gwynn to win it in the bottom half...
...distinguished Faculty are a source of pride to most Harvard students, and the newly minted University Professor ought to be ashamed of the example he set with his transgression. Had he been an undergraduate, such mistakes may have ruined his academic career. But because he is an all-star academic, they likely won’t even make a footnote in a biography of his life. In truth, what is most disheartening about the whole affair is that Tribe’s colleagues let him down for 19 years by allowing the plagiarism to pass by without scrutiny...
