SILENT KNIGHT? In Chicago, Phil Rosenthal details a
scene in the upcoming film, "The Big One," by Michael Moore.
Moore sits down and asks Nike Chair Phil Knight about the
"12-year old workers" in Nike's overseas plants. Rosenthal
notes that Knight "corrects him pointedly" by replying,
"Fourteen." Rosenthal: "It's a proud moment for everyone"
