There was none of that man-to-man, shake-hands-and-come-out-fighting spirit that marks male contests for power. But then, the two contenders for the presidency of the National Federation of Republican Women were, naturally, women, and in politics the dame game is not the same as the masculine variety. Nor is it very ladylike...

A fundamentalist who scoffs at patterned offenses ("I'd rather just play basketball") and fancy zone defenses ("In a man-to-man defense, you know exactly who makes a mistake"), he is, according to one Tiger player, "the best coach in basketball-from Monday through Friday." But when game time rolls around, he turns into a Tiger-screaming at his players, snarling at referees. A loss sends him into a paroxysm of frustration; even a victory leaves him wan and wet with perspiration. Not until the season...
