Coupling commercial techno-kitsch with the masterworks of Van Gogh and Picasso is like crossing the book Private Parts by Howard Stern with the Civil War diaries of Mary Chestnut. Thank you, Vegas, for your attempts at high art, but no thanks. A Warholian approach might have been more fitting. DOUG HATCH Madison...
...here is where Jackie runs into trouble. If he was to be a truly uninhibited comedian, he wouldn't even bother qualifying his statements. Like a Howard Stern or a Rush Limbaugh, he would just rant and rave, regardless of the consequences. Jackie, however, tries to find a balance that seemingly doesn't exist, between speaking freely and still trying to qualify dangerous statements (like his brazenly racist quips).

Representatives of the owners and players sat down for talks last week, but like Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman fighting for the low post, neither side gave ground. Commissioner David Stern canceled the exhibition season. And this week is likely to bring worse news: because teams need at least three weeks to sign free agents and hold training camps, Stern and the owners, who have locked the players out since July, are expected to call off at least part of the 82-game regular season...
