...spared his own organization either. He has shaped a radical restructuring of the team and in the process made it a key component in revitalizing Detroit, one of America's most distressed major cities. He first fired head coach Wayne Fontes and installed former San Diego Chargers coach Bobby Ross. He also revamped the Lions' archaic ticketing policy, bolstered the team's marketing campaign, launched a Website and started weekly radio and TV shows that air during the season. "We really needed a face-lift," he says. "We're in the entertainment business. It's all marketing and customer satisfaction...
Although they have small roles, the First Guard (Robert Ross), the Second Guard (Dmetrius Conley-Williams), and the silent chorus of Pentheus's guards are also extremely talented.

In the past congressional campaign, only 21 of the 145 biggest spenders eventually won seats. One problem for well-heeled candidates is that they sometimes succumb to hubris. In 1994 Millner turned off some rural Georgians by jokingly asking a local farmer, "Do you work for a living, or are you in farming...
...Marie's hair says "Wham! Make it Big," then Sherrod's hair says "Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever." Sherrod's hair--which she describes as "a cross between a collegiate Brooke Shields and Diana Ross"--definitely has some affinity with disco balls and hot pants. Through a "ritualistic getting-ready process," Sherrod "tames" her locks without the aid of gel or hairspray. She simply curls them repeatedly around bobby pins. "I realized how big my hair was when this two-year-old came up to me in the MAC and said, 'Wow, you have Big Hair!'" Sherrod says laughing...
