Earlier this year, two boys were convicted of beating to death a banker on a Tokyo train platform?a nihilistic attack whose impulse was disdain. Survivors rarely talk about what happened to them because they...
...knees? And finally, why? Jordan insists he's doing it for the love of the game. Maybe so: he has promised to donate his entire first-season salary to Sept. 11 relief efforts. As for Wizard fans, they're looking forward to the twosome of the tongue-wagging geezer Jordan and young Kwame Brown, the NBA's No. 1 draft pick. Does M.J. think Kwame can be like Mike? For now, cat's got his tongue...
