For all that, protean Hustler Bobby Riggs, 57, won his 25-mile foot race across California's Death Valley against Aussie Distance Runner Bill Emmerton, 56, by a scant 40 minutes.

Struggling for possession of his young mind are his father (Len Birman) and his grandfather (Yossi Yadin). The former is a hustler, determined to abandon traditional Jewish ways and invent his way upward (creaseless pants, expandable cuff links−so you can roll up your sleeves without unlinking them).
