...seasons, his teams won 20 or more games, another record. That last win put Carolina into its 11th Final Four. Smith won two national championships, a total that surprises only because it is not higher. He has coached 30 All-Americans, including Michael Jordan, Jerry Stackhouse, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Mitch Kupchak, and Billy Cunningham. Some of them left Dean early. Most of them stayed. Many became his assistants, or head coaches elsewhere. Smith was always in the Dean Dome, the capital of ACC basketball, coaching the Tar Heels...

This was an offer--for the Reagan Ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif.--all too many were able to refuse. The Western White House sat on the market for 13 months until the perfect buyer, one who can print money if he has to, showed an interest: Uncle Sam. Republican Congressman Ralph Regula of Ohio, chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee in charge of federal parks, is brokering a deal whereby Congress will appropriate $5 million and give it to California, which will in turn give it to the Reagans for the 100-year-old adobe house and grounds they paid...
