...least. The possible addition of another Jew to the upper echelons of government hardly seems like news. The Clinton administration in particular has promoted significant numbers of Jews to positions almost as high as the vice presidency: Many of his top Cabinet deputies, like Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin '61, come from Jewish backgrounds. Both of Clinton's appointees to the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer, are Jewish. But hardly anyone focused on their Judaism when these men and women were tapped, and no one cited them as symbols...

"She's the best woman lifter I've ever seen," says her coach, Mike Cohen, a former Olympian who now runs Team Savannah, one of the country's top weight-lifting centers...
...athlete in a body that screams couch potato. As a high school softball player, she was so good that kids called her "the Arm," but Haworth wasn't satisfied with the game. Her dad, knowing she had always been interested in those bodybuilding TV shows, took her to see Cohen in 1996. When Haworth lifted a bar with more than 100 lbs. on it "like it was a loaf of bread," he knew he'd found a keeper...
