...Patriots paradox to Bellichick. At the beginning of New England's 2001-04 run of three Super Bowl victories, he was Nice Bill, a tireless if disheveled football chess master who had finally escaped the capacious shadow of Bill Parcells, the Super Bowl-winning coach for whom he had toiled as a longtime assistant. Claiming three of four Super Bowls is a truly mind-boggling feat, given that the NFL's salary-cap structure is designed to spread the wealth and prevent dominance. It takes some kind of football genius to escape the league's parity policy...

...race to conservative Felipe Calderón by less than 0.58% of the vote in an election that was decided by the Federal Electoral Tribunal. The charismatic López Obrador claims he was robbed and calls himself Mexico's "legitimate President" at mass meetings and marches. López Obrador's shadow reaches even as far as Ebrard's ice rink.

...Despite the moral support they lend to those pushing the U.S. to accept stronger action, Gore, Kerry and the rest of the shadow U.S. delegation are ultimately powerless to affect the outcome at Bali - the fate of the negotiations remains in the hands of President Bush and his negotiators. Toward the end of his speech Gore, with his customary taste for the eccentric analogy, invoked the hockey player Bobby Hull, who Gore said was skilled because he sent the puck, not where his teammates were, but where they would be. "You have to look to where we're going...

Still, the dotcom bust casts a shadow, with fears that once again too much money is chasing too few good ideas. The drive to go green, so strong today, could rapidly lose momentum if oil prices were to drop significantly, and it hasn't escaped notice that clean tech has yet to produce a bank-breaking success like Netscape, which made Kleiner Perkins a fortune. "Everybody with a dollar thinks they're a clean-tech investor now," says Foundation Capital's Grosser. "A ton of people could lose a lot of money on solar or biofuels." But defenders point...
