...returned to the game last year, the original M.J. felt somewhat wistful. And as Earvin III grew older, Earvin II found another, compelling reason to return. Says Magic: "My son had heard from other fathers that his daddy was a great player but he couldn't play no more, blah, blah, blah. Now he'll get a chance to experience my playing, and he won't have people telling him--or myself telling him--that I couldn...

As a Group I senior once told Dartboard, his secret to doing well on finals was to study like mad in the days preceding and get drunk on the night before. He graduated summa. House-sponsored slosh-fests might bring our collective GPAs up a bit. What would ole' Harvey Mansfield say about that...
