...SWIFT IS THE KIND OF COP who doesn't have to worry about pockmarks. Unlike the physically imperfect lawmen who now populate prime-time TV--the Dennis Franzes and Jerry Orbachs--Mac's skin is invincibly smooth. Nothing, it seems, can scar him as he dodges punches and pummels bat-wielding thugs with an assured agility that seems to say, "Hey, I'd look even better toppling Christy Turlington on a sandbar in Maui."

She spent countless hours with sports psychologist Jerry Russell May, but it was finally Mark McCormack, the head of the all-powerful International Management Group, who cajoled her out of her isolation. Of the stabbing, Seles says, "I've put the whole thing in a box. If I need...
...would land first, among the more than 10 million Americans who hover one rung above welfare on the nation's "ladder of opportunity." These are people who tiptoe between paychecks and have no savings, who ride the bus to the discount stores, who sell their plasma until their veins scar, who don't bother to clip coupons for Cheerios because the generic version is still cheaper, and who can be wiped out by even a minor medical problem...
