Ewing—who did not major in Economics during his time at Georgetown—was eventually kept in the dark regarding 11th hour negotiations that saved the 1999 basketball season, as union chief Billy Hunter parleyed the final settlement. Not surprisingly, a soft salary cap was part of the deal...
...most immediate impact of the upsurge in violence is to cast a dark shadow over Iraq's immediate political future. The U.S. remains committed to handing over sovereignty on June 30 to an as-yet undetermined Iraqi authority.

He's ecstatic to be covering his idol, but his exuberance increases the disconnection between the music and the material. Johnson was one dark dude; when he sang, "There's a hellhound on my trail," you believed him. When Clapton sings the same line, you wonder if the hound's name is Patches. The only genuine emotion Clapton musters is reverence...
