...There simply was no need for the Yankees to acquire the best pitcher this generation for a loveable left-handed fat man and spare parts. The 1998 Yankees won 125 games last season, and the 1999 version has even more talent...
...Friday night, Hill faced off against the Quaker's super-talent, junior Michael Jordan, in round two of the highly anticipated match-up of the league's two best point guards. In their first meeting neither of the two had the clear advantage, with Hill scoring 11 points with three assists versus Jordan's 10 points and four assists...
Despite her obvious talent for the splashy, one could argue that Powell's gift best manifests itself in smaller, brocade-free dramas such as Hilary and Jackie. Powell's mod clothes never overwhelm the tale of the relationship between the impassioned cellist Jacqueline du Pre and her sister, but instead lend a keen visual intensity to the women's profound differences.

Reminiscent of Gomez's Bring It On in its American roots music-inspired sound, the first Stateside release from this Scottish indie favorite showcases the band's diverse range of influences from Muddy Waters to the KLF. Stephen Mason's delicious breathy voice and bluesy acoustic/slide guitar work combine...
