...WINNINGEST coach in Division I men's college basketball made headlines for throwing a chair across court and for several alleged assaults. Still, the purity of Bob Knight's passion drew loyal fans. As Indiana's legendary leader from 1971 to 2000, "the General" took the Hoosiers to an undefeated '76 season--a feat not since repeated--and three NCAA championships. Knight, 67, who led the U.S. to Olympic gold in 1984, emphasized teamwork, never broke NCAA rules and ran clean programs with high graduation rates. In a sudden midseason move, the combative Hall of Famer resigned...
...less water than traditional resorts and has begun a pilot program for disposing food waste, which is important in a mountain climate in which food scraps can take as long as two years to decompose. "Our guests are interested in being green as long as they are comfortable," says Bob Trotter, general manager of the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, which will open in Avon, Colo., this spring.

With his name still on the ballot, Thompson is likely to win delegates from Tennessee even after his withdrawal. In 1996, Lamar Alexander - former governor and now a U.S. Senator - withdrew as a candidate for President under similar circumstances and, despite his endorsement of Bob Dole, got 11% of the vote. Tennessee is not a winner-take-all state, and under party rules a candidate needs 20% of the vote statewide, or in a congressional district, to win delegates. Thompson may well reach that threshold, leaving delegates committed to him for two ballots at the convention - unless he releases them...
