Except this was July, the teams were called the Sting and the Liberty, and the players that the fans were beseeching for autographs were not Ewing and Rice but Lobo and Bullett. One of the hottest items at the souvenir stands was a T shirt that read INVENTED BY MAN, PERFECTED BY WOMAN. "This is phenomenal," said a woman who drove 65 miles from South Carolina to bring her daughter to the game. "My daughter thinks I'm the best mama in the world." Following the laser lights and loud music required of every N.B.A. pregame show, the announcer thundered...
...there's another quality that the W.N.B.A. has and the N.B.A. hasn't: accessibility.

S. publishers prick up their ears, try to reproduce the music on their side of the waves. Recent resulting importations are James Hanley's Men In Darkness and Boy, now supplemented by a first novel by Derbyshire Coalminer Boden.
