...have seen fit to raise ticket prices. The increase raises courtside seats from $60 to $95. Little wonder that Hardaway was booed lustily by the paying customers in his first game back. They were entitled. Hardaway scored 11 points, 29 fewer than the team's real star, Shaquille O'Neal. The fans have figured out who is paying for the Lamborghini Diablo Hardaway drives...

Amiri Baraka, Larry Neal and Sonia Sanchez viewed black art as a matter less of aesthetics than of protest; its function was to serve the political liberation of black people from white racism. Erected on a shifting foundation of revolutionary politics, this "renaissance" was the most short-lived of all. By 1975, with the Black...
