Hard concrete courts, baking under the heat of the L.A. sun, and young men from the ghetto shaking out their frustrations by playing a kind of attack basketball -- all high-bouncing dazzle, nasty elbows and insults that come at you in rap rhythm. Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) intrudes into this essentially black world with intent to hustle (gambling on these pickup games is heavy). Maybe WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, but in all other respects he's a fully qualified player -- except possibly in the brains department. But smart Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) has enough wit for both...
...first to try this gambit was Charles V. Harrelson, the Texas hit man who happens to be the father of Cheers star Woody Harrelson. Cornered by cops seeking to arrest him for assassinating a federal judge in Texas, Harrelson, according to Marrs, told lawmen that he was the guy who killed Kennedy. By the time he backed off the story, assassination buffs had already convinced themselves that they had photographic evidence of Harrelson's presence in Dealey Plaza that day.

...dugout and know when to change pitchers," contends Mets general manager Frank Cashen. "But I can't get you ten to 15 people who can communicate with 25 ballplayers."

After being freighted with the garbage -- which was mashed into some 2,200 untidy bundles by a giant compactor -- Harrelson's leased barge was hitched to the tugboat Break of Dawn and set sail on March...
...Harrelson had a destination in mind. After he convinced the commissioners of Jones County, N.C., that they could make a fortune by extracting methane gas from the trash, they agreed to let him dump 100,000 cu. yds. of rubbish into their local landfills. But when the barge with its festering cargo pulled into Morehead City, Harrelson found that the deal was off. "We told him to get the boat the hell out of North Carolina waters," said Stephen Reid of the state's solid and hazardous waste management bureau. "We have enough garbage of our own. We didn...
