...decade ago, the 2.4-km stretch of Fifth Avenue that forms the western edge of the Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, was the grim preserve of drug dealers, thugs and the demimonde.

"For me, he's all the best things about America: a bit of a showman, sure, but also friendly and likeable, without that grim way that some of the European athletes have," says Björn Frick, a fan from Bern. As for the partying, "that's nonsense. If he drinks, he's hardly the first ski racer to do it." Says Miller's fellow racer Marco Büchel, of Liechtenstein: "The World Cup wouldn...
...simple compassion?this story, like cave-in and child-down-a-well stories in the past, moved America to hold an electronic vigil. Soldiers are killed in Iraq, for instance, every week.
