Because, if you haven't heard, this series may be Jordan's last. The complex derivative of keeping Jordan in the NBA probably involves the rehiring of coach Phil Jackson, who publicly feuds with both blowhard Bulls general manager Jerry Krause and cheapskate owner Jerry Reinsdorf. Jordan steadfastly refuses to play without Jackson. That could probably be resolved (suck it up for one more year, Krause). But Jordan, 35, most likely won't return without sidekick Scottie Pippen.

Overburdened with persistent and less-than-subtle reminders...
...when the D.C. bar was filled with eccentrics. The leading criminal lawyer in the 1940s, Stein once recalled, got his cases because he was best friends with the chief of police. And when he made a closing argument, he screamed at the jury so loudly that he could be heard in Judiciary Square. "The bar used to have a roguish element about it, which in a sense was wholesome," Stein told the Washingtonian. "Lawyers didn't take themselves seriously...
