Frank Kush was the classic all-American success story. One of 15 children, he grew up in a company-owned house above coal Mine 35 outside Johnstown, Pa., won a football scholarship to Michigan State University, and in 1958 was named head coach at Arizona State in Tempe. There his Sun Devils became one of the toughest teams in the country. Kush's coaching record of 176 wins, 54 losses and one tie was second only to that of Alabama's Bear Bryant...

His parents broke up when he was very young, and he grew up as the loneliest boy in North Bergen, NJ. "You remember that kid," he says. "You probably beat him up a few times." He got attention by being funnier than anyone else around, managed to limp through school, then slide unhappily through a semester at New York University in Manhattan. He broke into television at CBS News, and then moved west in 1965. Soon after, he developed the concept for Room...
IMAGINATION did not agree with Liddy. He grew pale, his throat throbbed, irregularity plagued him. Still, he made no progress. On April 24, at 2:37 p.m., inspiration attacked. While thumbing through a Robert Ludlum novel, it hit him--characters. He swiftly plugged them into the plot: the "very Nordic" Rick Rand, suave financial genius; the "very oriental" T'sa Li, Rick's sex-hungry girlfriend; Mikhail Sarkov, KGB agent posing as multinational chairman Greg Ballinger; T'ang Li, T'sa Li's mammoth brother and Kung Fu expert. Liddy threw in a mafia don and several Company people because...
