That's why the dichotomy between Bob Knight and my college coach, UCLA's legendary John Wooden, could not be greater. One thing that really stands out about Knight is that it's always about him. He's a lot like Dennis Rodman, with his calculated self-promotion. John Wooden was the antithesis of the anger, the scowl, the selfishness.

Between men and women there seems to be a widening separation based partly on the new varied social status of women and on men's difficulties in making adjustments. Movie plots have men turning into women, women men. One of our weirder celebrities, a basketball star named Dennis Rodman, put on a bridal gown a few years ago and married himself. Saner but sadder consequences are evidenced in an absence of romance in courtship and the treatment of sex as sport...
