Priming the Mind
Lawrence Williams Jr. (pictured left) loves blood. Don't misunderstand him: The soft-spoken 27-year-old describes himself as "pacifistic" and dislikes the idea of people hurting each other. But when it comes to entertainment, he has a brutal streak. He slaughters space aliens on Xbox as part of his daily exercise routine. His taste in film runs to Quentin Tarantino--in music, to Three 6 Mafia and the Diplomats. "I want the violence to be as realistic as possible in the media," he says. "I don't want the director to go halfway." While the make-believe hero in Williams is blasting his enemies to bits, the scientist in him is wondering why. The puzzle grew especially vivid during the 2 years he spent working at the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Boston, Massachusetts, after he graduated from Harvard University.

SPECIAL WEEKEND EDITION Who's first in second trimester?
Editor's note: ESPN.com senior NBA writer Marc Stein supplies each item for this around-the-league notebook edition of the Daily Dime. Dividing the NBA season into thirds like a pregnancy or a three-term school year always has been the preference at Stein Line HQ. But there's a hiccup in the system. Teams generally reach the 54-game mark right around the trade deadline, forcing us to delay our Second Trimester Report one week, which puts most clubs closer to 60 games. Yet I suspect you'll get over all that pretty quickly and happily focus on how the award races look entering the regular-season stretch run. West MVP of the Second Trimester .
STUDIO BRIEFING TV: March 2, 2007
The giant Creative Artists Agency apparently got more than it bargained for after it announced that it had signed conservative talk-show host Michael Savage as a client this week. No sooner had his name been added to its roster than Savage ranted on the air against another CAA client, singer Melissa Etheridge, who thanked her wife, Tammy Lyn Michaels, when she accepted an Oscar during Sunday's televised Academy Awards presentations. "I don't like a woman married to a woman," Savage railed. "It makes me want to puke." As for children raised by two women, Savage stormed, "I think it's child abuse." CAA quickly found itself in the center of the conflict. Late on Thursday, E! Entertainment's website said that it had received a terse email from a CAA representative that read only: "No longer rep him." JESUS DOCUMENTARY DRAWING MORE FIREThe Rev.
