...their early years together, settled into family life with their three children in Omaha, Neb., Buffett worked voraciously; Susie "knew that the main thing he needed was to feel loved and never criticized." In public, people noticed how affectionate the two were - Warren liked to hold Susie in his lap - but in private, his wife kept hoping that once they had enough money (between $8 million and $10 million, she figured), Buffett would cut back on work and finally pay attention to his family.

Lezak breathes on his right side, and there's nothing like seeing exactly where your opponent is to get your stroke flying. "When you put a world record holder in the end of a relay, and go in behind them, the chance of you beating them is slim to none...
...comic foil: the tightly wound unhero who either gets on everyone's nerves (Dodgeball, The Royal Tenenbaums) or is the hapless pawn of domestic fate (Meet the Fockers, The Heartbreak Kid). As actor, writer or director, he knows something most Hollywood people don't: certain characters needn't be lap-dog lovable--if they're funny enough, the movies they're in can still be hits...
