...four years, until he turned 21, Tim Bannon, Andover '65, used to carry a false identification card. Most of the information on it was fabricated, but at an age when personal identity is usually up for grabs anyway, this would hardly have troubled a prep-school junior. A fake ID, taken in combination with the condom customarily nestled next to it, represented pure possibility--early admission to adulthood with all its intensely anticipated pleasures. Everyone Bannon knew at Andover owned such a card, and for a good reason that we'll get to in a moment...

...UCLA forward Ed O'Bannon was the last player to win the Wooden Award in the same year his team won the NCAA title (1995). Three others have pulled the double feat: Louisville's Darrell Griffth (1980), Kansas' Danny Manning (1988) and Duke's Christian Laettner (1992). Michael Jordan was named the Wooden Award winner in 1984, two years after his North Carolina team won the national championship. UNLV's Larry Johnson won the Wooden Award in 1991, the year after the Runnin' Rebels were shocked by Duke in their bid to repeat as champions...
...traditional Chinese garb, pioneers wonder why Chon is dressed like a girl. Others think he's Jewish. The slightly spaced-out Indian tribe that adopts him is just happy that he is visibly not another rapacious white guy. We can be happy that he links up with Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), a train robber with the anachronistic manners of a surfer dude--a little too politely countercultural for his line of work and not half as clever as he thinks he is. He looks like a young Robert Redford (the movie makes a nice satirical reference to Butch Cassidy...
...most misguided claims is that Mateen Cleaves is "set for life" as a result of the endorsement dollars that will roll in after his clutch performance Monday night. Sure, he played a great game, but when did you last hear the names Scotty Thurman, Donald Williams, Ed O'Bannon, Ricky Moore or Miles Simon in commercials? All of these players had excellent performances on Monday nights, but they are proof that a good title game does not an endorser make. The names Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant are a bit more recognizable, and neither played a minute in college...
