...decade needs its icons. Prince is a suitably odd one for these askew times, albeit something of a miniature. He is frequently photographed from low angles or astride a motorcycle, but when he can be caught in what passes for a spontaneous composition, he seems to be the height of a coffee table. He has the faintly demented courtly charm of Dwight Frye swallowing flies in Dracula, but his sexual charisma is at low tide in the dramatic scenes. All this changes in performance, where part Prince really comes out wailing, part Hendrix, part Screamin' Jay Hawkins. If music...
...played soccer at Brandeis University, even professionally for a time. The third son, Frederick Carlton Lewis, was slower in developing distinctive tastes and style, and just plain slower in developing.

Laker James Worthy seemed about to redefine the forward position with his quickness, just as Magic Johnson, roughly the same size, has revolutionized guard play with his height. But the last few regulation seconds in Game 2 were unpromising for both men. Protecting a two-point lead but not the ball, Worthy tossed the tying basket directly into Celtic Guard Gerald Henderson's grateful path, and dribbling absently Johnson lost track of the time. As would become increasingly clear, the new model is an improvement over Oscar Robertson only in the open court...
