...Richmond and Phoenix Suns forward Charles Barkley to fill the final two spots on the Olympic team. Richmond, the N.B.A.'s second-highest scoring guard (next to Michael Jordan) and a tough defender, was an expected pick. But the outspoken Barkley, a member of the gold-medal squad in Barcelona, was a surprise selection because he had initially told officials he wasn't interested...
...Orleans Jazz Band. It's been like that at every stop on Allen's 14-city, 23-day European tour, which ends in London on March 18. In Madrid he needed a police escort to get in from the airport amid what El Mundo called Woodymania. In Barcelona more than 300 autograph seekers mobbed him at the stage entrance.

Max (Chris Eigeman), a guy so jaded that every new experience is deja vu, falls in with cheeky Kate...
...upmarket "Clerks," a less fraught "Jeffrey," "Barcelona" with a faster pulse or maybe "Friends" on PBS, "Kicking and Screaming" is a postmodern comedy of manners in which hyperarticulate twentysomethings talk about the imminent threat of becoming thirtysomethings. Writer-director Noah Baumbach's characters wear cool like a dinner jacket, says TIME's Richard Corliss; their offhand wit is so studied that their bull sessions seem like a final they crammed for. "But Baumbach is canny enough to salt the stew with poignance, so that by the end these attitude machines have become human beings, more than the sum of their...
