...technical and that it takes years to learn all the tricks. I'm not convinced that's the case. Who dribbles better than American ballers? The goal on defense is to shuffle your feet and keep your man in front of you. Basketball players practice this in grade school. On offense, it's "work to find the open...
...Hayes had one more career in him: as Chef, the grade-school cook who dished out mediocre food and ageless wisdom on the Comedy Central animated show South Park. The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, conceived the role for Barry White, another soul basso whose music soothed where Hayes' prowled and pounced.

He got a conventional theology doctorate and an unconventional education from a friend, management guru...
...Punahou, the ?lite school that Obama attended for eight years on scholarship, don't quite know what to make of the Japanese tour buses that have begun to stop at their 76-acre campus; Obama's East Asian fans routinely photograph the banyan tree he likely climbed during fifth-grade recesses and surely speculate on which apartment he lived in with his grandparents on Wilder Street across from the school...
