Last month former New Orleans Defensive End and convicted Cocaine Dealer Don Reese sold his story to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, depicting widespread drug abuse in the N.F.L. and implicating ex-Saints Teammate Chuck Muncie, now with the San Diego Chargers. Cocaine "controls and corrupts the game" was Reese's chilling theme.

"A definition-in-action of rock and roll," critic Robert Palmer called the double-barrelled guitar attack which remained a Stones trademark even after Jones' death and two generations of replacements...
...KEEF!" Jagger shouts at his guitarist during the first of two red-hot performances in Hartford, Ct. last October. "Keef! Do you remember when it was the last time we played this tune, man?" Jagger just announced "Down the Road a Piece," a Chuck Berry classic off of the group's first album...
