Michael Jordan, a basketball player in whom commentators have discerned aristocratic qualities and supernatural powers, has retired from the game that made him one of the world's best known and best paid sportsmen.

Last week's announcement was premature by most people's measurement -- Jordan is 30 and at the height of his playing and earning power but it was not, by his own account, taken hastily, or rashly. "This is," he said, with a rare stumble, "the perfect timing for me to walk away."

After three championships with the Chicago Bulls, a second gold medal with the US team at the 1992 Olympics, Jordan felt his motivation slipping away. "I'm at the pinnacle," he told a thronged press conference. "I just feel I don't have anything else to prove."

But this explanation may appear too simple to satisfy the skeptics, who have recently discovered that Jordan does not lead an untroubled private life. First came the allegations that he gambled -- in a country where gambling is mostly illegal -- and that his gambling was out of control. Then his father was shot dead on July 23.

Take a good, long look at the newspaper you're reading. What could it be used for? If you think this is an unimaginably draft question with blindingly obvious answers--such as reading or lining the cat-litter Way--then you are sadly lacking in creativity and inventiveness. For you are mired in "functional fixedness"--a slavish adherence to the belief that paperclips, pens and newspapers have but one use. This is why you have pointedly failed to make a million by dreaming up clockwork radios, airbags, waterproof mascara, bagless vacuum cleaners or gel-filled bras.

Happily, your prospects need not remain so dismal. According to Gary Fitzgibbon, a cheered psychologist and an expert on creativity, anyone can break out of their mental shackles and become a free-thinking individual, able to come up with dazzling ideas and novel ways to solve problems.

This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream,

Crime has its own cycles, a magazine re-

ported some years before. Police records that 【M1】______.

were studied for five years over 2,400 cities

and towns show a surprised link between 【M2】______

changes in the season and crime patterns.

The pattern of crime has varied very little

over a long period of years. Murder reaches its

high during July and August, as does rape and 【M3】______

other violent attacks. Murder, however, is 【M4】______

more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It

is also a hightime crime :62 percent of mur-

ders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a.m.

Unlike the summer high in crimes of bod-

ily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You

are most likely to being robbed between 6 【M5】______

p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in De-

cember, January, or February. The most un-

criminal month of all?

more dog bites are reported in this month than

an other month of the year. 【M6】______

Apparent our intellectual seasonal cycles 【M7】______

are completely different from our criminal

tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the

Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made ex-

tensive studies to discover the seasons when

people read serious books, attend scientific

meetings, make the highest scores on exami-

nation, and to propose the most changes to 【M8】______

patents. In all instances, he found a spring

peak and an autumn peak separated by a sum-

mer low. On other hand, Professor Hunting- 【M9】______

ton's studies indicated that June is the peak

month for suicides and admissions in mental 【M10】______

hospitals. June is also a peak month for mar-

riage!
