Quantity defined his life and was its curse. His statistics, like his being, seemed to have no relation to a terrestrial reality. On March 2, 1962, he set an NBA record by scoring 100 points in a game against the New York Knicks. He scored the most points in a season (4,029); had 50 or more points in a game 118 times; set the record for career rebounds (23,924), rebounds per game (22.9), average points in one season (50.4). Other numbers recalled last week: seven straight scoring titles and 11 rebound titles (in 14 seasons). To show...
...first Tuesday of his second season on the air was a big day for Will Truman. Will, the male half of NBC's Will & Grace, went on a date, after spending last year setting an endurance record for getting over a painful breakup. The date was with a hunky bookstore clerk we saw for all of five teasing seconds, but it was a date nonetheless.

What's more, Lennox's voice has a cool...
Still, Santana and Davis agreed that there was very little Santana needed to change. His lightning finger work and exquisitely formed fusion of blues, Hendrix-style guitar fireworks and Afro-Latin rhythms remain fresh. The key was coaxing a new generation of record buyers to discover a musician whose early hits are probably collecting dust in their parents' vinyl collections...
...third period, senior Paya Rhodes, 18, is in her advanced-calculus class, sitting beside the only other black student. Rhodes has a 3.6 GPA, and in most of her advanced classes, she's the only black. Paya used to take pride in that status and in her family's record of excellence at Webster Groves. Her oldest brother maintained a 4.0 for four straight years; another went on to Washington University. Her mother and a third brother are also Webster grads, and her younger sister is following her on the honors track...
