The NBA had thrown Milwaukee a curve ball in 1980 by moving the up-and-coming Bucks from the West to the East. Suddenly, instead of being a consistent contender in a West weakened by the decline of Seattle and Phoenix, the Bucks were shipped to the ruggedly top-heavy East, where the juggernaut Celtics and 76ers ruled. Those inclined to conspiracy-type thinking might even conjecture that the NBA moved an obviously strong Milwaukee team to the East to ensure the big-market, tradition-rich Lakers and their fan-friendly young star Earvin Johnson had an easy path to... Remember, the league was struggling mightily as the decade dawned, and sagging ratings caused CBS to televise the NBA championship series on tape-delay at 11:30 p. m. EST on weeknights during the ratings sweeps period in 1980 and 1981. Then the... The Bucks lost in the playoffs to Philadelphia four times in the early 1980s (1981-82-83-85), and to Boston in 1984 and 1986. Now as the bad-luck Bucks were aging, being challenged and even passed in the Central by the Pistons and Hawks , 1987 was...
Tariq Ba Odah would be a slight man, even if he were willing to eat. Ba Odah's curly black hair, which he keeps shoulder-length, does little to fill out his profile. The office chairs in the cells in Camp Echo, where Guantanamo prisoners and attorneys typically meet, appear to swallow Ba Odah up. Sores plague him. All of this gives Ba Odah the appearance of, as a fellow prisoner put it, a bird about to take flight. But Ba Odah has been caged at Guantanamo for more than 13 years, despite being cleared for release by the nation's top national security agencies. Ba Odah arrived at Guantanamo like so many other prisoners who have passed through its wire gates. A stubborn myth about the men at Guantanamo is that at some point they were all squared off against U. S. soldiers with guns drawn, and were captured and shipped off to Guantanamo to neutralize the threat they posed. The well-documented but little known reality is that following its invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the U. S. military ran a slipshod, bounty-based dragnet that ensnared hundreds of men and boys whose worst crime was being at the wrong place at... Ba Odah says he was among them – sold into U. S. custody and then rendered to Guantanamo at roughly 23 years.
These are the young assistants, many clad in athletic shoes, who rush written opinions from the Public Information Office out to the broadcast and cable TV correspondents on the sidewalk in front of the Court building. They are on our mind as we take a seat in the Courtroom this morning because of something that Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. , wrote earlier in the Term. In his year-end report on the judiciary, released on December 31, Roberts discussed how the current Court was slowly and deliberately embracing new technology that will see the introduction of a full-blown electronic filing system by as soon as... To embellish his point, the Chief Justice discussed an earlier technology for speeding the Court’s opinions into the hands of working journalists. When the new Court building opened in 1935, it included a system of pneumatic tubes and compressed air. Roberts related that under this new protocol, “immediately before a Justice announced a decision in the Courtroom, the Clerk of the Court directed messengers to hand copies to a small group of journalists stationed in front of the bench. The journalists then dispatched the copies through the pneumatic tubes to their colleagues in the press booths one floor below, saving the messengers dozens of steps and precious minutes in communicating the news of Court actions.
