Fans call Wooden "Mr. Run," and critics sometimes scoff at his race-horse-style basketball. "The game of basketball is scoring goals," Wooden shrugs, "and I want my boys to shoot and shoot.

A recent and elaborate movie wedding in Bombay drew 10,000 guests, but none of them were considered...
...since he was seven, Cabell keeps in shape during the winter by skiing on snow. The two, he says, are a lot alike: "You go as deep into the hook as possible, swinging to the bottom of the wave, then to the top, then back down again-and shoot through for a long, long ride. The idea is to rock the board back and forth with your feet, just like you do with a pair of skis-then break out of the tube at the last minute, just before you get wiped...
