Jaaber is the rare guard who consistently shoots over 50 percent from the floor—last year, he sported a .568 field-goal percentage in league games—for no other reason than no perimeter defender in the Ivies can keep him out of the lane. He can penetrate and get to the basket at will and is, in addition, accurate shooting from long range. According to unconfirmed reports, he can also touch the ground without bending over. He uses that freakish wingspan to lead the league in steals, boasting over three thefts per game a year...

...play that has the whole New York arts scene talking is not a new Broadway spectacle, but rather a small one-woman drama playing at the less-than-noteworthy Minetta Lane Theatre. But what the play, “My Name is Rachel Corrie,” lacks in excitement, it more than makes up for in naïve, political agitprop...
