After graduation, Wooden married his home-town sweetheart Nell Riley and took a job as a high school coach in Dayton, Ky., where he introduced his breakneck style by whacking the players with a paddle as they ran down the court. In his first season, his team compiled a 6-11 record-his first and only losing season in nearly 40 years of coaching. After moving back to Indiana in 1934, he coached and taught English at South Bend Central High School during the week and played semi-pro basketball with the Kautsky Grocers of Indianapolis for $50 a game...
Back in civilian life, Truman married his childhood sweetheart, Bess Wallace, and invested his life savings of $15,000 in a haberdashery shop in Kansas City, Mo. He prospered briefly, then went broke during the depression of 1922, but proudly paid back all his creditors, although it took years to do so.

If McKayle's choreographic style shows a knack for quick, deft blending of styles (such as modern, jazz, calypso, ballet), that is largely because he has spent much of the past...
...meeting people. She tackles a crowd of strangers like a bee that has spotted a new clover field. She does not simply shake a hand, she cuddles it in both of hers. She hugs, touches, pats, squeezes. She scoops up small children with easy endearments like "Dolly," or "Sweetheart." She almost never makes formal speeches, nor does she directly praise her husband. "I can't boast for my family," she explains...
