...wear them for performance." At first glance, logic does not seem to have had much to do with the rest of Reno's career. The Illinois native is master of a sport dominated by the Southern Californians, who invented it. And if you are expecting a beach-blanket bimbo, think again. On the way to becoming the world's best blocker and a favorite for the Olympic gold, this 30-year-old has picked up a master's degree in marine biology at Stanford University, has spent two summers in Alaska as a research diver and has begun a doctorate...
...staff Betsey Wright. As Libby, the most vivid supporting character in Primary Colors, Wright was portrayed as a wild-eyed, foul-mouthed, daft Dustbuster, so excitable that much of her dialogue in the book is in capital letters. In real life, she was the inadvertent author of the memorable "bimbo eruptions" line and could often get emotional when defending her boss.

...crown jewels as any woman in history. It's not simply that the estranged wife of a future King appeared poised, gentle and articulate (albeit she said albeit five times in half an hour); it's not that she failed to come off as the loony blue-blood bimbo her detractors have made her out to be. What was shocking was that she did an interview at all, telling neither her mother-in-law nor her own press secretary until it was in the can. She's playing by her own rules...
