This strong impression was not shared solely by the shop owners. Larry Kerns, who was leasing manager for HRE when the arcade opened (he quit in August of 1994) says the financial analysis for the Shops By Harvard Yard was done on a 20- to 30-year-basis and that the arcade was "definitely not a short term project. I don't think it makes any sense for a real-estate developer to plan on such a short basis." He adds that he was "shocked" when he heard it was closing...

He bought 5% of the club from owner Jerry Buss, a share he had to sell back last week to comply with N.B.A. regulations that prevent a player from owning part...
...game had been largely unnecessary. When Magic announced to the world on Nov. 7, 1991, that he had contracted the AIDS virus, it seemed to many that he was pronouncing his own death sentence. Michael Cooper, a teammate at the time, left the press conference crying. Johnson had to quit basketball then, supposedly for the sake of his own health and definitely for the peace of mind of his peers. He made cameo appearances, first at the 1992 N.B.A. All-Star Game and then as a member of the USA's Dream Team in the Barcelona Olympics, but when...
