...Carter has turned this complex talk show into an action movie, with lots of running and falling and hauling, from North Texas to the Antarctic. It's as if the cleverest grind in class were told he had to retake P.E. before he could graduate. And that's too bad--enough to turn an X-phile into an ex-phile...
...front of a national audience. In these big games, even when Jordan and Pippen were not shooting well, they would forgo their jump shots, drive to the basket, and at the very least shoot fouls and slowly take over the tempo of the game.

That is now the home-meal replacement...
...lenses, imagine what we could do with adult entertainment." It was easy to find customers--Hirsch just trolled Usenet for e-mail addresses. And it was easier still to find women to work in his facility. Most are former exotic dancers who were sick of the daily bump and grind and find the frictionless economy of the Internet a welcome relief. "We offer a much healthier lifestyle," says Hirsch. "We treat them like princesses...
