...assuredness, Jordan is loved because his image is, above all else, personality-less. There are many kinder ways to put this--he's a gentleman; he's classy; he has old-world values; he's modest; he has a blue-collar work ethic; he's quintessentially American--but the truth is, he's bland. Think about all the interviews you've seen and the stories you've read. (And like it or not, you have. He's been mentioned in, on average, 100 newspaper articles a day.) Can you describe his personality? His politics? His sense of humor? His likes...
...boyishness on the plane was a signal that he did not fear Utah, even if the Jazz were well rested, were playing at home at an altitude of some 4,500 feet and were on a roll after inhaling the seemingly mighty Lakers. In truth, they were not that much younger, and what he saw was the matchups: their significantly smaller guards going against him, Pippen, Ron Harper and even Toni Kukoc.

The interviewees are not fictional characters, but real people divulging the most intimate and, oftimes, humiliating details of their lives. And this is why, unless you are using it for a research paper, The Unknown City can be hard to get through. Perhaps it is a function of a culture...
Timothy Leary might've approved: South African military officers ordered scientists in the country's secret chemical warfare program to manufacture 2,000 pounds of the designer drug Ecstasy, a scientist told the country's Truth Commission today. Dr. Johan Koekemoer said he was told the drug would be used to incapacitate enemies of the apartheid regime. Even amid tales of government laboratories' producing poison-filled umbrellas and conducting bizarre experiments on the sperm count of baboons, the suggestion that apartheid's secret weapon was a party drug was hard to take seriously, according to TIME South Africa bureau chief...
