...might call this discretion ladylike. But there's nothing demure about how Parker plays the game. She vaulted onto the sports scene in 2004, when she became the first girl to win the McDonald's High School All-American slam-dunk competition, beating two future NBA first-round draft picks in the process. Only three college women and one WNBA player have ever dunked during a game; Parker first slammed as a high school sophomore. Although her dunks fetch the most attention, her game is complete: she dribbles like a point guard and throws no-look passes from the post...

It is a befitting moniker: from the moment he began telling journalists last year that Clinton was lying about the draft, Cliff Jackson has been out to harpoon the President. The question is why. Surprisingly, the two have much in common. Both were overachievers who grew up in small Arkansas towns; both won scholarships to Oxford; they even served as co-captains on the same basketball team. Yet despite their similarities, Jackson...
