...just so damn engaging and fun to be with," said former Colorado Senator Gary Hart, who would be a groomsman at McCain's second marriage in 1980. "I was amazed at his total experience and his emotional management." The admiration and familiarity not only made McCain a very effective advocate for the Navy; it also got him thinking about himself as the Distinguished Gentleman from Somewhere. "He looked at those guys," says Jay Smith, McCain's early political guru, "and said, I can do this...
...every year--the eighth leading cause of death even by the more conservative figure, ahead of car crashes, breast cancer and AIDS.

...last month, Stritch told the audience about a conversation from the early '60s. "I asked Noel if he was afraid of death," Stritch recalled, "and he said the only thing he feared was that he wouldn't be remembered." It is his oceanic talent--the range of skills that made him seem, so inaccurately, a dilettante--that has brought Coward's fear to the brink of sad, sad fact...
