...discussed everything, including jet lag," junior guard Megan Basil said. "Nothing's going to stop us. We've been physically ready but had breakdowns emotionally and mentally. We've got to get back to where we were before the season...

She is perhaps the only CEO of a multinational company who greets visitors with a hug rather than a handshake. He smoked power-broker cigars, traveled in a custom jet and kept a Louis XIV-style office suite in Paris as a pit stop. She finds little use for such captain-of-industry trappings. After consolidating power, the wealthy widow sold off the limousines and the private jet and dispensed with other perks. While Reg was a master of complex...
