'Flakers' fleece the Finals?

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, June 2,2004 10:16 p.m.

Go ahead and hand out the trophy. If the Lakers haven't blown it by now, they aren't going to anytime soon. But stop right there when comparing this year's Lakers to Laker greats of old. Winning their fourth NBA championship in the "post-M.J. era" earns L.A. the right to be talked about as one of the toughest teams to beat. But in my mind, the collection of pro basketball's biggest divas is far from great as they manage to squeak lazily by instead of etching their way into NBA lore as one of the greatest squads ever.

Rice battles weather, other drivers to win Indianapolis 500

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Wednesday, June 2,2004 10:04 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- If there was one nap that David Letterman was glad he never had the chance to take, it was on Sunday. Rain dominated the day, delaying the start of the 88th running of the Indianapolis 500 for two hours and nine minutes past its scheduled 11 a.m. start, thus delaying Buddy Rice's saturated run to the finish line. Once the race got started though, Rice showed the field and the spectators why he was on the pole, sitting in the lead for the first 13 laps before being overtaken by Alex Barron.

Neither 'Right' nor 'Wrong,' just bad

By -Nate Bethea · Wednesday, June 2,2004 9:59 p.m.

It should be enough to just say that the new Skinny Puppy album is industrial, one of those genres that was really cool and edgy for a few months in the mid-'90s, but like other popular-for-an-instant musical gimmicks (ska, for example), it never went anywhere; its highest achievement was somewhere between Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral and KMFDM's Money.

By Alyson Brodsy and Martha Irvine · Wednesday, June 2,2004 9:48 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- It's not easy to be a fan of presidential candidate Ralph Nader these days. Just ask Dallas Stoner. The 27-year-old college student is a Nader die-hard -- representing that small but persistent blip of supporters who are standing tall against Republicans who dismiss Nader's candidacy and Democrats who fear that Nader supporters will foil John Kerry's run for the White House.
