Cousin Evel would have smiled. Back in 1996, his rookie year, New England Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri proved he was a daredevil: he knocked down Dallas Cowboys kick returner Herschel Walker, saving a touchdown. Before a returner starts prancing towards the end zone, he usually sprints past the poor little kicker, making him crumble to the ground like a cheap cookie. But Vinatieri wasn?t scared to pound one of the NFL?s strongest players, and his coach, Bill Parcells, singled him out in the locker room after the game. ?That day he told everybody that I was a football...
...November 1916, Lawrence Sperry, who had already made history as the inventor of the autopilot, entered the annals of aviation a second time. A prurient daredevil, he found that his new device facilitated a midair assignation with a female flight student?thereby unofficially inaugurating the Mile High Club.

There is very little here that is intellectually or politically adventurous, but that doesn't mean Hillary Clinton isn't a daredevil in her own way. Occasionally she will risk a moment of self-deprecating candor, leavened by dry wit. "I was not the same person who had worn the violet blue gown in 1993," she writes of the second Inauguration. "Nor could I fit into it after four years of White House fare. And I had grown not only older but blonder." When a paparazzo catches her and Bill slow-dancing in their bathing suits on a tropical beach...
