"I felt like it's time for me to move on," said Jordan, a 6-foot-6 junior.

"I felt for future purposes this was the right decision." Jordan said money wasn't the only factor in his decision. "Money plays a big part In each one of our lives," he said. "Who knows, I may not be around next year. The future holds the best for me right now." North Carolina coach Dean Smith, who said he had recommended that Jordan turn pro, called the loss of his star back-court player "a sad moment for the coaching staff."

hopes to begin erasing his family's bitter memories when he helps carry the Olympic torch this week on the first kilometer of its relay across America. Thorpe is the grandson of American track star Jim Thorpe, who was stripped of his two gold medals in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics.

But when he found out it had won $10,000 and was still alive, he got mad.

DuShane, of Plymouth, called the ponce and now has Swift Joy back. She had been bred and is in foal. DuShane had been told by Swift Joy's trainer that the horse had broken a leg and had been destroyed. But, according to the Racing Form, Swift Joy was listed as running in a race during.the recent winter meeting at Latonia.
