Crying as the key to victory sounds a little squishy, especially from a guy who graduated from West Point and claims none other than Bobby Knight--chair-throwing, microphone-hogging, student-berating Bobby Knight--as his basketball mentor. But Krzyzewski believes creating an atmosphere that infuses his players with the same kind of support and love he received growing up is crucial to Duke's success. Unlike most other coaches, Krzyzewski avoids depth charts and assigned positions, insisting that they lead only to competitive anxiety and unrealistic expectations. As a result, Duke has no players whose sole...
...Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, to be released early next year. Grieving fans lined Manhattan's Upper East Side streets as the singer's coffin rode to the chapel in a horse-drawn, glass-paneled hearse. "Aaliyah had a refreshing outlook for one so young," said Gladys Knight. "With true respect for her art and her elders...
...attitude won't be enough to down Nike. Fireman's longtime rival Phil Knight still sits atop a company that commands a market share more than triple Reebok's.

Proving he wasn't blinded by rage, Knight told reporters, "The first thing I did was fire me up a nice cigar." Then he hit the Dairy Queen...
...part, decided it was time to put the spoofs behind him. "I got tired of satire," he says. "It was fun, but I didn't feel like doing it again." So he directed Ghost, the hit 1990 supernatural romance that won Goldberg an Oscar, as well as First Knight, the dud 1995 Arthurian epic starring Sean Connery and Richard Gere. He also produced 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding, but not until Rat Race did he get back behind the camera to make another madcap comedy. "It took me a while to get over First Knight," Zucker says...
