Till then, oh, you might wanna read this excerpt from Warren Leslie's great book Dallas Public and Private: Aspects of an American City, originally published in 1964 and re-issued nine years ago by the Southern Medhodist University Press. It's essential reading for newcomers and natives -- much like Unfair Park. Or not. Here's some video too: Tim Duncan getting escorted out of the American Airlines Center yesterday. He was wronged, and yet it felt so right. --Robert Wilonsky
