...When Dallas made the playoffs in year three, cracks began to appear. Jones and Johnson began squabbling like tots competing for Tinkertoys. Johnson sulked when Jones brought celebrities like Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia onto the field during games at Texas Stadium. After the team's first Super Bowl victory, Jones wrested the championship trophy from Johnson's hand. Troy Aikman was throwing the touchdown passes, and Emmitt Smith was running over defenders. To Jones that was confirmation of his genius as a judge of talent. To Johnson it was affirmation of his skill at devising and executing a perfect...
After the Cowboys' second Super Bowl victory, in January, the tensions boiled over. At an N.F.L. owners' meeting in Orlando two weeks ago, Jones was reportedly offended at Johnson's tepid response to a toast he proposed.

...Chinese, value almost every part of the cat. They believe that tiger-bone potions cure rheumatism and enhance longevity. Whiskers are thought to contain potent poisons or provide strength; pills made from the eyes purportedly calm convulsions. Affluent Taiwanese with flagging libidos pay as much as $320 for a bowl of tiger-penis soup, thinking the soup will make them like tigers, which can copulate several times an hour when females are in heat...
