...sign Pippen, who under the new rules can be paid more by the Bulls than by a different team. Reinsdorf would then probably trade Pippen to another team, like Los Angeles, for some young talent, like Eddie Jones. Good luck. Krause is in more promising negotiations with free agent Brent Barry of the Miami Heat. Barry is a 6-ft. 6-in. white guy who can dunk. Kids in Chicago will probably not want to "be like Brent," but the free-agent market is shrinking quickly, with Jayson Williams re-upping with New Jersey. Meanwhile, Pippen is close to signing...

...historically proven dangers of forcibly relocating a group of people to serve the needs of another race. Moralistically, the one thing missing from this movie is the influence of the non-human, "rational" viewpoint--usually provided by Spock in the old Star Trek series and by the android Data (Brent Spiner) in the Next Generation.

...talented Brent Carver and Carolee Carmello do their level best to bring Leo and Lucille to life, but, as written, their characters are fatally uninteresting. The music and lyrics, by Jason Robert Brown, catch fire only in a couple of disposable up-tempo numbers (Mary Phagan getting wooed by a suitor on the trolley) and turn gooey in big ballads like All the Wasted Time, sung by Lucille and Leo in jail. Prince's staging is elegant but rather quiet, the set dominated by a giant oak tree from which Leo will eventually hang. No one wants a glitzed...

...Paxton) is smart enough to guess that money in this amount is going to be pursued by its rightful (or, more likely, wrongful) owners, but he's a weak, inexplicably damaged fellow. His brother Jacob (cunningly played by Billy Bob Thornton) is a halfwit, and Jacob's pal Lou (Brent Briscoe) has a heedless temper.

Gentle exercises that reprogram muscles are essential as people grow older and lose elasticity. Brent Anderson, who teaches the technique in the Miami studio he co-owns, is working on his doctorate in physical therapy and plans to write his thesis on the effects of Pilates on the spine. His aging boomer clients who grunted their way through the no-pain-no-gain workouts of the '80s are turning to the regimen as welcome therapy. Anderson has observed, for example, that knee muscles out of whack because of a trauma experienced years earlier "can be retrained and the process...
