...Sure, it's un-American not to back the underdog, but even the hardworking, muttily named Utah Jazz (did Satchmo summer in Salt Lake?), with its working-class Mailman and great white hopes, couldn't drag us away from Jordan's charm. For a spasm of a second last month, it seemed O.K. if Larry Bird's Pacers won the conference championship--there was mythological resonance to the protagonist's being felled by a warrior ghost--but by Game 7, we were right back in our proper seats behind Jordan. We wanted one more hit of Jordan's hyperintensity...
...friends on the team noticed that when the final game was over, he seemed almost giddy as he raced back to the locker room, like a joyous schoolboy liberated from class after the last day of school. He was equally gleeful on the first flight out to Salt Lake City, Utah, an odd boyishness for a player who was supposed to be old and tired and about to face a team that was rested and that held the home-court advantage. Some thought it came from the fact that he knew the Bulls and he had just barely dodged...
...masterpiece on the big screen and you'll be walking out on pretenders like "Braveheart" for the rest of your life. 2. The Wild Bunch (1984). Dirt, grime, blood and Mexicans; a true mod western with all the soul of Melville. 3. Casablanca (1942). Claude Raines adds just enough salt to a movie that is perfect in every way. 4. Bridge On the River Kwai (1957). Too much Lean? Never. 5. The Third Man (1949). Orson Welles gets best entrance -- but you knew that. What puts this film over the top is the final, parting shot of Joseph Cotten...
...participants made sexual freedom a kind of new religion. That sort of reverence has been replaced by a more consumerist attitude. In a 1972 cover story, TIME declared, "Teenagers generally are woefully ignorant about sex." Ignorance is no longer the rule. As a weary junior high counselor in Salt Lake City puts it, "Teens today are almost nonchalant about sex. It's like we've been to the moon too many times...
Parents who are aware of this cultural revolution seem mostly torn between two approaches: preaching abstinence or suggesting prophylactics--and thus condoning sex. Says Cory Hollis, 37, a father of three in the Salt Lake City area: "I don't want to see my teenage son ruin his life. But if he's going to do it, I told him that I'd go out and get him the condoms myself." Most parents seem too squeamish to get into the subtleties of instilling sexual ethics. Nor are schools up to the job of moralizing. Kids say they accept their teachers...
