Celtic Center Robert Parish had 16 rebounds to Jabbar's six in the last game, Boston 52 to the Lakers 33. Forward Cedric Maxwell, with a flair for rising up at great occasions, scored 14 points at the foul line alone. This championship seemed to prompt a broader interest than usual, and the seventh game drew the largest TV audience in pro basketball history. When the live and ravenous crowd broke through and overran the court, Jabbar was stripped of his goggles, though not of his clear view. "It got away from us," he said simply...
Hart is a Westerner with flair, and slightly more to the center than Mondale: in theory, Hart would supply the requisite ticket balance. In reality, however, a Mondale-Hart ticket might amount to less than the sum of its parts. Says Hart: "I'm not sure if that would be a dream ticket."

Marvin Mitchelson, the celebrity divorce lawyer who filed Morgan's palimony suit, insists that a White House aide confirmed over a year ago that there were...

Bradford neither lets the play pull all the weight of the production, nor reinterprets the play in silly ways--making everyone wear parachute suits, for instance. Bradford's active good judgment, dramatic flair, and sense of timing preserve the thoroughness and unsentimental freshness of the original...
...sense, the head-on collision between the state's two most powerful politicians is a clash of the New South vs. the Old. Hunt, 46, is a consensus seeker and problem solver. Though he has little flair for oratory and not much of a sense of humor, his following ranges from impoverished blacks to progressive educators and white businessmen struggling for economic growth. Even Republicans concede that Hunt has run the state well, attracting $13 billion in new business investment, adding 207,000 new jobs, improving roads and schools...
