...call the Yankees. I hunt down a phone number, and soon I'm talking to a man in the team's media relations office. I begin to explain my interest in a few minutes of phone time with Zimmer, but the guy cuts me off.

Powell wasn't an easy hire. Since his decision not to run, a lot of people have wondered what it would take to get the general out of semiretirement, off the phone (he is a well-known phone and fax abuser) and away from the mail (he answers every letter). Even his wife Alma was thinking he ought to get out of the basement more. He had a stack of offers from corporate boards, foundations and academia that if laid end to end would circle the Pentagon and make the Republican who actually did run weep. Then Ray Chambers...
