Not the most ever paid for a piece of clothing, but a pretty penny. I\'m sure you saw the sale on the news, and was wondering about the price. I was wondering too, since I suspected it was going to sell for much more than the projected price, and wanted to see if I was right. I was. As to the most valuable piece ever? The Landini pair of Dorothy\'\'s ruby slippers cost a bidder at Christie\'s $666,000 in 2000. That\'s...

The Knicks fell short in their quest for basketball immortality as they now have been mathematically eliminated from tying the Bulls season win record. It was a great effort and the Celtics Atlantic conference record is still closely in reach. Stay tuned!
