...himself in that way." Though accused of using steroids, McGwire says he hasn't, that his log tosser's body is the result of intensive weight-room work. Rod Dedeaux, who coached McGwire at U.S.C. as well as on the Olympic team of 1984, says, "Mark has power of heart as well as power physically." Of the home-run record, he says, "If anyone can do it, it will be Mark...
Only rarely does his grin crack. He takes the rare criticism directed at him by the press and fans a little too personally, but even then only because, at heart, he wants to be liked.

Then last week I read in the Wall Street Journal that the boneless sirloin known for decades as the Kansas City strip, a cut of meat invented in the Heart of America, is now on most steak-house menus as the New York strip--although in Kansas City outraged customers forced Ruth's Chris Steak House to correct the misnomer. In other words, once Kansas City had become accustomed to avoiding the subject of beef, New York snatched our steak...
