...Jordan isn't returning to lose, to play for the sake of playing, to get schooled by Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady or Allen Iverson. "I'm sure he thinks he can win. Because he walked away healthy. Everybody else limps away," says NBC analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton, who played until he was 35. "Basketball is a young man's game and always will be. But when you're really great, you believe you can do anything...
...Allen Adler, VP for legal and government affairs of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), describes the library community as one of "the most important markets and strongest allies" for the publishing industry, especially on matters of first amendments protection.

...such assistance has proved invaluable to some renewable-energy technologies. Allen Barnett, founder and president of Astropower, America's largest independent producer of photovoltaics, developed his design at the University of Delaware with the assistance of U.S. Department of Energy funding. The U.S. government, he argues, could make American renewable-energy companies more competitive globally simply by treating them fairly in government-purchasing decisions. "The U.S. government is the biggest buyer of electricity in the world," he says, "and often at prices above what we can deliver with solar. All we are asking is that the government look at what...
