...insensitivity on the part of Woods and the Williams sisters and Rodriguez in the way they're floating these large amounts of money, a 'Let them eat cake' aspect to a family [with an] income of $30,000. This is, in essence, rubbing it in the face." Echoes David Falk, who represents Michael Jordan: "The public has no taste for listening to people complain publicly about their worth, and frankly neither do I. I applaud [Tiger] for his stance. I just think the stance should be taken privately." Some golf pros are also happy that Tiger is taking...
Harry Mendelssohn (Jason Alexander) is the ultimate anticomputer nerd. He is threatening to dynamite the library where he works if its card-catalog system is replaced by PCs. Brian Dickey (Peter Falk) is the police negotiator--Columbo raised to the nth degree--trying to talk him out of anarchy. Lee Kalcheim's play, at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse, sets them dueling metaphorically over the fate of modern civilization. Sometimes his targets are too easy (no more Starbucks jokes, please), but he has written fine, funny parts for the edgy, earnest Alexander and canny, counterpunching Falk. And his ending...
...prospect for other NBA franchises is that the Wizards could be rebuilt not only by Jordan but also by bagmen from his corporate sponsor Nike and his agency, SFX Entertainment. With an eye toward parity, the NBA imposes a salary cap on all rosters.

MONDAY, JAN. 4: Reinsdorf flies to New York City for the final owners' meeting before the Jan. 6 deadline set for canceling the NBA season. From the plane he tries to call Jordan who, he discovers, is in the Bahamas playing golf. He phones Jordan's agent, David Falk, who can't reach his client. Reinsdorf then calls Jackson at his new house in upstate New York to ask whether he won't change his mind about coaching. Jackson pleasantly chuckles a no, probably holds back on offering a koan about one-year contracts...
Surely the happiest instances of commercial eccentricity have been those in which an entrepreneur's quirks spur success. In fact, it could be argued that such people are capitalism's finest and most inspiring flowers: their greatest wealth literally is themselves. One such is Kathryn Falk, 58, whose boundless love for romance novels has led her to produce conventions, magazines, newsletters and tours. Falk also sells chocolates and other items to women who share her passion. Her annual Romantic Times Booklovers' Convention draws some 5,000 and features a male beauty pageant and a costume ball. During a 1997 Romantic...
