...with differences so deep that sometimes "it seems we share a continent but not a country. We do not accept this, and will not allow it," he declared, and issued his solemn pledge: "I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity." He admitted that he rode in on a storm; it had rained all through election night, and it rained on his ascension, so he called on the angel that "rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm," all but acknowledging that he was brought here by forces beyond his control and claiming no mandate other...
...dream that one day tiny basketball coaches will be judged by the content of their character and not by how ludicrous they look stepping into the conflagrations of men twice their size. JEFF VAN GUNDY'S dream is still unrealized. In 1998 the 5-ft. 9-in. Knick coach rode out a New York-Miami playoff brawl attached like a poodle to the leg of 6-ft. 10-in. man-mountain Alonzo Mourning.

Television cameras recorded Antley leaping off his mount to brace the ailing leg of the horse, saving the Thoroughbred from...
...sailboat and maintains a wine cellar. But family is big with him. Literally. He has six children from three marriages and takes the kids on cross-country drives in a Jeep Wrangler every few years. Three of his adult offspring work with him at his law firm. He rode to the rescue of Napster after his kids told him how cool it was. Says his wife Mary, a busy antitrust lawyer: "We talked about forming a firm together but decided we preferred romance." She's clearly a fan. Seeing him in the courtroom, she says, is like seeing "Baryshnikov...
