...cards. He preaches regularly to millions on both Black Entertainment Television and the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Yet millions more have never heard of him. When they do, new enthusiasts can adopt an awed tone not unlike acolytes of bebop jazz in the '50s or grunge in the early 1990s. Hubert Morken, an independent political-science scholar who had not heard of Jakes until two years ago, ended up profiling him for a book on influential religious leaders. "I was shocked by the guy," he says. "His gifts are colossal...

German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, a Social Democrat, issued a notably cool statement, saying his government "took note" of the Italian results and "respected the decision" of the voters. Britain's center-left Prime Minister...

One year, fan favorite John Starks would inexplicably go 2-for-18 in Game 7 of the Finals, and Pat Riley would refuse to take him out in favor of sharpshooter Hubert Davis. Another year, Reggie Miller would score eight points in 18 seconds to steal an early lead from the Knicks-the series ended when Ewing missed a game-winning layup from two feet away. Another year, the Knicks would go up 3-1 on Miami—only to brawl...
