...little obligation at the present time to spare America," Pat Robertson announced not long ago on his religious talk show, The 700 Club, "because we are polluting the world with our television programs, with our movies and so forth."

...Boston to become the head coach of the Indiana Pacers. But at a reported $4.5 million a year, along with part ownership and a promise to succeed president Donnie Walsh, the 40 year-old Bird will be much more than the Pacers' coach. Like Pitino and the Celtics and Pat Riley and the Heat, the very identity of the Pacers is now indistinguishable from that of Larry Bird. Which is exactly how the Pacers like it. The self-described "hick from French Lick" is an institution in Indiana, nearly to the degree he has been in Boston...
