...Once in a while he lies to revert to his shore background," Tosches says of the Lacey Township. N.J. Nature, who only recently cut his shoulder length hair that used to flow out from under his helmet in previous seasons.

He lives alone because his three daughters are grown and he is separated from his second wife. ("Did you see Michael Ovitz go by before?" he asked proudly. "He lives around the corner. So does Meryl Streep, and Michelle Pfeiffer.") Riordan said he intends to form an administration not of "technocrats," a breed he abhors, but of "doers and implementers."
