Isa contends there are two distinct sides of him: the aggressive, ultra-competitive footballer and the otherwise gentle man. Young Willie would crunch his fine-boned foes, then approach them after the game to say sorry. But the smaller boys had trouble reconciling the two Willies and rarely replied.

They have relied heavily on the work of Rachel Laser, who runs the Cultural Program at Third Way, a progressive think tank, and has spent three years shuttling between abortion-rights groups and pro-life Democrats to hammer out agreement on a common goal of reducing abortion...
