Your article on Michael Jordan's comeback mentioned his pending divorce from his wife Juanita [SPORT, Jan. 21]. You included a bird's-eye photographic view of their sprawling 25,000-sq.-ft. home. Juanita could easily let Michael live in some obscure, out-of-the-way 10,000-sq.-ft. corner of the complex, and would never even notice he was around. Still, that might not be fair, as she would be left to make ends meet with just a few hundred million dollars. What is the world coming to! IVAN PAGANACCI Plantation...
...other major prosecution problem is that Brosnahan can argue that Lindh was in such bad shape during the interrogations--he had been shot, appeared malnourished, and may have been doped on morphine--that the poor kid thought he was talking to Big Bird. On Friday MSNBC began running a videotape of Lindh that was apparently filmed on Dec. 14. Even then--four days after his FBI interview--he had chills and could barely keep his eyes open...
...stayed in Castle Grayskull. As a rule, he neatly packages his complaints, slipping them in here and there, camouflaged as corny jokes. He likes attention and knows he is not likely to get it playing the bitter ex-con. The second shelter, which was better, he promoted to "Cuckoo-bird Dungeon" and said he was blessed to be there. But both were trials for Sanders. Inside and out, they alternately reeked of prison or temptation. Within a five-block radius of the second shelter, there were three crack houses. Directly outside the shelter, men worked the corner, smoking and doping...
...middle and late stories quiet down a lot. Being more like illustrated poetry, some pieces barely qualify as stories. "Abe Explains Nothing, Carefully," begins "I like to live intangibly?always between one thing and another." Each "stanza" has an enigmatic image: a glass of water, a bird sitting on a rock, Abe's head shaped like a nautilus. Frankly some of it gets a little too airy. As poetry it makes for merely curious comix. More satisfying are the longer, unmistakably autobiographical narratives about Abe's travels through Finland, Sweden and Greece. Dakin picks out the details of travel...
Europeans have often been disdainful of the European Union's ambitious but remote project of political integration. They have scant understanding of the inscrutable institutions of Brussels, which pour forth picayune rules on everything from bird hunting to the curvature of cucumbers. The debut of more than 10 billion new banknotes, legal tender from Helsinki to Palermo, has given 300 million Europeans their first concrete experience of union. An Austrian who stood in a long bank queue to get her first walletfull of euros could go home and see Spaniards doing the same thing on television. European Parliament elections just...
