Though George Bush praised Yeltsin's "tremendous courage" and "superb" defiance, the U.S. President and other allied leaders shied away from the legal minefield they would face in bypassing the Kremlin's sovereign authority. Said Stephen Meyer, an M.I.T. political science professor who is a sometime Bush adviser: "I would not allow bilateral relations with the republics any more than I would allow the Japanese to set up independent diplomatic relations with Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut...
...think of records as different chapters in an incredibly long and disjointed novel," says Thompson, whose superb new Rumor and Sigh (Capitol) displays both his carbolic lyricism and his stunning guitar virtuosity. Whitley's peak-heat debut album, Living with the Law (Columbia), comes out of a period of personal turmoil and heartbreak, including the dissolution of his marriage, about which he says, "It was a difficult time. Sort of impossible. I've always needed to write. ((But)) there is a price you pay for whatever goes on. I feel that I've paid something. You get scars from whatever...

More than that, passing is a form of altruism, the unselfishness that transforms an agglomeration of individuals into a cohesive unit. Superb offensive players are rarely good passers. They appear narcissistic, locked inside their own talent. Elgin Baylor, Earl Monroe, Jerry West, Julius Erving often seemed alone on the court with the ball, solo artists in a team sport...
Like Leonardo, Michael Jordan is now his own greatest competition. When you make the miraculous routine, the merely superb becomes ordinary. Audiences feel cheated unless Jordan pulls off one of those twisting, soaring dunks that are living proof of post-Newtonian physics. Now that he has won an N.B.A. championship, he doesn't really have anything left to prove -- except, of course, that he can do it again...
