...school hoop star who chooses fictional Western University in Los Angeles, a perennial basketball power. Any parallels to UCLA, it seems, are purely intentional. The coach, played by one W.D. Spradlin, even clutches a rolled-up program during games, a quirk college hoop fans will immediately recognize as the trademark of John Wooden, UCLA's fabled Wizard of Westwood...
Arafat, who will probably head whatever Palestinian state may eventually emerge, still wears the kaffiyeh headdress and battle fatigues that are his trademark.

When Burns' name was called, Carter did more than just join in the general applause, as he had for the others. He got up and walked to the podium with the patrician boss of the Fed.
