...sort of thing. After all, he sat out most of the Bulls' final championship season with a foot injury, saying he would never play for Chicago again. Of course, Jordan won his sixth ring, with Pippen tagging along after a change of heart, and then rode off into the sunset...
Patrick Taylor knows that first-hand. On Sunset Beach in North Carolina, he's selling a half-acre of marsh three-quarters of a mile from the beach. It has no amenities--no water or sewage.

Worst of all, he was flying a muscled-up, high-performance airplane that requires a butterfly touch--something Kennedy...
