Much like a strong presidential ticket, covering the White House for TIME requires teamwork, indefatigable energy and more than a dollop of personal chemistry. Which brings us to Washington correspondents Michael Duffy and Dan Goodgame -- the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of the presidential beat -- who have been covering the Bush Administration together since Inauguration Day 1989. At first glance, they are, well, different from each other: the voluble, wisecracking Duffy is the inside-the-Beltway political junkie, while Goodgame, a Mississippi native and Rhodes scholar, is the laid-back outsider, always searching for the Big Picture...
...dream that must give Daly the worst night sweats features a player like Butch Lee. Back in 1976, Lee was not invited to the U.S. Olympic basketball trials. Instead, he played for the team from his native Puerto Rico. Spurred by a desire for revenge over the slight he felt he had suffered at the hands of the U.S. selection committee, Lee whipsawed the Americans with the performance of his life.

Then there is John Gotti Jr., 28, cut from the same cloth as his father but widely disliked. Tommy Gambino, son of the family's founding father, once seemed a likely successor...
...fugitive on tax-fraud charges, Juse used an alias when Pinkerton's accounting division hired her. Obtaining computer codes, she made wire transfers of cash from the company's bank account. Juse faces up to 30 years in prison. Meanwhile, Pinkerton's, the company that once stalked Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, is pitching a job- applicant screening service to its clients, which include half the Fortune...
