...just 15, but his lightning reflexes and devastating "kill" shots-150-m.p.h. caroms that whistle off two walls and the floor before bouncing beyond his opponents' reach -made him the first American winner in international competition. His rebote is among the best in the game, a single fluid motion as he turns to scoop the ball bouncing off the back wall into the lip of the cesta, twists and flings it toward the front wall. He turned professional as a senior in high school, promptly picking up a rooting section of squealing groupies. (He is engaged to marry...

Developed in the 1950s as an anesthetic, PCP was banned for human use after tests showed erratic side effects, and it is now legal only as a tranquilizer for monkeys and apes.
