...later he sacks Lescure. "I'll be happy to run Vivendi Universal for another 15 years" - and two days later he resigns. But these are trifles - even I, at times, intend to make love all night but last only 15 minutes. • That one mustn't listen to the smooth-talkers. The next time someone says, 'I'm going to plant a tree,' he'll have to have a shovel in his hand before I believe him. With his iron-clad resume, VIP-packed address book and the balls of a drunken woman, Messier passed himself off as a shrewd...

McEnroe the player was obviously torn by inner conflict. During points, he was so in control - solid on the baseline, silky smooth at the net, masterful with both his movement and the ball's. But in between points, he seemed a different man, unable (or unwilling) to control the verbal volleys. In retrospect, a contrite McEnroe fears that he's still seen as a "spoiled, loudmouthed, ill-tempered crybaby" of a player. Sure, fans...
