...more Reagan Republicans, says Club President Stephen Moore. Desperate to protect all their incumbents, House Republican leaders are privately furious with the genetic engineering plan. "The Club has lost track of Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment - not to speak ill of fellow Republicans," gripes Main Street Executive Director Sarah Chamberlain Resnick. But even GOP presidents tend to ignore that commandment when it's convenient. President George W. Bush, for example, has broken it several times this year, taking sides in several GOP primaries...
...Kobe, that the person who can make things happen is the one who brings the ball up the court. Against the Celtics, Kidd averaged a triple double (double figures in points, rebounds and assists); the only other players ever to pull that off in a conference finals were Wilt Chamberlain (1967) and Magic Johnson...
...Lowdown: Though Bol never challenged any of Wilt Chamberlain's scoring records - on or off the court - he worked himself into being a defensive standout. He'll need those defensive instincts here, because he's not going to be able to withstand many punches from Perry, whose weight equals that of a loaded school bus. Bol's best strategy would be to take advantage of his reach by throwing jabs from the locker room.

...Chamberlain was clearly in the twilight of his career, and would not be much more effective in containing Shaq than Dikembe Mutumbo was during the 2001 Finals. West was one of the most clutch players in NBA history, alongside the likes of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, but would draw the unenviable assignment of guarding Kobe Bryant, whose athleticism would overwhelm the perimeter defense of ’72 Lakers. If the two teams were to play a series, the current Lakers would cruise, defeating their Inglewood ancestors in five games...
