...piled onto the chartered Jet Blue Airbus 320 that flew the whole show from Newark to San Diego and finally to Phoenix on Super Tuesday. After a crowded, chaotic press conference featuring Rudy Giuliani and former New York Governor George Pataki in New York's Grand Central Station Monday afternoon - a press conference at which McCain took just three questions - Mark Salter, the candidate's close adviser and speechwriter, shook his head. "We're not used to being this big," he said with a scowl as he looked at his watch. "We've been late all day. We're never...

...Super Bowl bet based on my nonfootball expertise, something that would make me feel smart on a day I feel dumb. So I called oddsmaker Art Manteris to see if we could come up with a bet that he would post on all 19 sports books he runs for Station Casinos. Manteris, author of Super Bookie, was responsible for making proposition bets a huge business when, in 1985, he offered 20-to-1 odds at Caesars Palace that an incredibly fat defensive lineman named William (the Refrigerator) Perry would score a Super Bowl touchdown. Unfortunately for Manteris, there...
