The Magic-Bird show is born. Everybody wanted it. Everybody was talking about it. And more people watched it unfold on national television than any college game before or since. On March 26, 1979, in the Special Events Center at the University of Utah, Magic Johnson squared off against Larry Bird for the first time. One year later, they would take their show to the NBA. But on this night the dream showdown between the two best players in the country was on college basketball's grandest stage-the NCAA Championship game. Indiana State, the lesser known school in the Hoosier State, came into the contest riding a 33-game winning streak thanks to the extraordinary skills of Bird. Johnson was just as impressive, and Michigan State had other college standouts alongside him such as the high flying Greg Kesler, hot shooting Terry Donnelly and the powerful Jay Vincent. The great efforts and teamwork of Bird, Bobby Heaton, Carl Nix and the rest of the Sycamores kept them competitive, but in the end Spartans won the game 75-64. The Magic-Bird duel is still as captivating now as it was then. This DVD contains the complete 1979 Michigan State vs. Indiana State game, with coverage from NBC Sports.

Do average Americans believe that what is portrayed on TV is more "real" that their own experience? This eye-opening book analyzes the kinds of messages about race, class, gender, and sexual orientation that are being conveyed in the entertainment media. The author examines the homogeneous images, characters, and themes that are offered on prime time television and in popular film and music, and their potential impact on the audience. She uses three main techniques -- reconstructing knowledge; personal experience; and entertainment assessment theory -- to illustrate media's view of the world and show how media stereotypes reinforce this view.

A Talent for Genius: The Life and Times of Oscar Levant by Sam Kashner, ISBN 1879505398
Oscar Levant was the Amadeus of Hollywood, the Oscar Wilde of Broadway - and the most wildly self-destructive personality ever to become a household name. An astonishingly gifted concert pianist, composer, film and stage presence, radio and television raconteur, insult wit, and bestselling author, Levant steered a maniacally masochistic course through seven glorious decades. His death in 1972, at the age of sixty-five, left the entertainment community shocked - largely with amazement that a four-pack-a-day smoker with a history of drug abuse and mental illness had lasted as long as Levant did. He made a national reputation for himself in the late 1930s as a brash, brilliant "expert" on radio's famed quiz show Information, Please!, and as a fine concert pianist and the premier interpreter of George Gershwin's concert works. He appeared in thirteen films, usually as a best friend/"Oscar Levant" type. He played Gene Kelly's sidekick in An American in Paris and a lovable hypochondriac in The...
