...used to take Bernard Regeth, 76, just 15 minutes to harness his two horses. "Now," says the retired mechanic from River Falls, Wis., "it takes a good hour. I put the collar on, and I have to sit down and rest. I put the harness on, and I have to sit down and rest. I buckle the harness, and I have to sit down and rest." If he exerts himself too much at a routine task like sweeping the kitchen floor, he feels as if he's suffocating. "I have to completely sit down and take a puff...
...Coors, 57, won't get the Senate job by birthright. The rarefied world in which he moves--he does his elk hunting in Russia, not the Rockies--won't endear him to Colorado's rural, blue-collar constituency.

"Every time you embarrass a player on the sideline or in a huddle, it's a mistake," says Jim O'Brien, who quit as Boston Celtics coach in January after new general manager Danny Ainge traded away several of his favorite players. "You have to be man enough to apologize." That doesn't mean...
...twice leaves Shargel flabbergasted. "If she had just kept her mouth shut, nothing would have happened," he says. Stewart was initially solely represented by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen, & Katz, a heavyweight corporate law firm. But by the time she was indicted, she had placed her bets with Morvillo, a white-collar-crime specialist...
