...reveres the old coaches like Henry Iba, Joe Lapchick and Pete Newell. When Clair Bee was 85 and blind, Long Island's great coach painstakingly scratched out a message for Knight that read: "Clair Bee and Bob Knight do not believe that repetition is gospel." Lately Knight, 46, has actually dabbled in zone defenses and, as the euphemism goes, "broadened his recruiting base." A junior-college transfer, Keith Smart, made the last two jumpers against Syracuse...
...pants, was brought to his knees in the third round of the Andy Williams Open under a sappy tree. Tired of being described as a bag of cantaloupes, Stadler put down a towel before slapping the ball out and cheerfully going about his business. The next day, a bee stabbed him during his round, a portent of stings to come. While Stadler was persevering to a second-place finish worth $37,333.33, TV replayed his arboreal adventure.

Today rock helps...

Worse, it suggests that the work was preconceived in a way that no reporting is supposed to be. The examples of artist-reporters like W. Eugene Smith and Henri Cartier-Bresson prove otherwise, but the assumption survives that artists have visions, journalists have assignments. They both may think to themselves, "I am a camera," but each means something different...
