Everyone followed the flight of the ball as it sailed toward the end zone, and cringed as the ball bounced off the Harvard receiver's chest--a sure interception. But as the ball began to fall to the ground, another Harvard player dove under it and cradled it in his arms--a touchdown that gave the Crimson a 14-0 lead over Holy Cross...
...betting slips in his handwriting -- did not seem to shame him. Little ever has. Not a 1979 paternity suit that he did not contest, the messy unraveling of his marriage in 1978 (which did not interfere with his 44-game hitting streak), or striking an umpire in the chest, for which he received a 30-day suspension in 1988.

Explains Foreman: "The secret to my winning is my eating." By which he means that he has been reborn at the dinner table too. The Big Macs have been replaced by broiled mackerel. For breakfast, the slugger still puts...
