...then, in a way, he was. As Tom Butters, the athletic director of archrival Duke, said last week, "Coach Smith made college basketball better. Excellence begets excellence." The lineage of basketball is even more specific. James Naismith, literally the father of the game, begat Phog Allen, the Kansas coach, who begat Dean Smith, who begat not just Jordan and scores of NBA players but also such notable coaches as Billy Cunningham, Larry Brown, George Karl, Roy Williams and Eddie Fogler. Almost all his former charges remain intensely loyal to him. Jordan, in fact, still wears his blue Tar Heel shorts...
...plus kids at the Fantasy Ranch dance club won't be making it to church. Instead, amid sweeping lights and the raw thumps of the aptly named song Insomnia, they sing the praises of the most recent drug to hit central Florida: Special K. "It's the bomb," gushes Tom, a sweaty 15-year-old with a struggling goatee. "It will make you like this," he says, rolling his eyes up as if staring at his brain. "It's dreamy.

...Tom's friend Sara quickly pulls a glass vial from her bra. After a glance around for security, she holds the black-capped vial under a pulsing light, revealing the powder she first came across in July. Now, she says, "I'm into it like every weekend."

"They took us to the forest somewhere in England," says Sizemore. "All we had was World War II blankets and rations. It was so hard." All the actors got up at 4:30 a.m., and neither he nor Hanks (who plays a captain) got star treatment during the exercises. "Tom and I had to run in the front," says Sizemore. "I threw...
...murderer of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey not been arrested, almost 10 months after her bludgeoned body was found in the basement of her house? If Boulder, Colo., police chief Tom Koby is to be believed, the problems lie in the press coverage, in strains with the district attorney's office, even in the "very intense personality" of Boulder's chief detective--and not in Koby's much criticized leadership of the police department. Brandishing a copy of the U.S. Constitution, Koby stunned a press conference in Boulder last Friday by dumping his top detective from the case and railing...
