Cincinnati's bench is German-American old money and mid-century entertainment — the Lawyer class is the same Queen City bar that built the Taft political dynasty, the Novelist thread runs through the Over-the-Rhine literary generation, and a smaller Music vein traces from King Records and James Brown through the city's early rock-and-roll scene. The Basket cohort is the University of Cincinnati pipeline that sent Oscar Robertson north and kept sending players ever since.
