...world impact (''How can he say that about black people?!''). Comedians themselves are much better at keeping the two distinct. After spewing out ethnic insults on the Tonight Show, Don Rickles (who is back on TV this fall in a Fox sitcom) usually let Johnny Carson know what a sweet guy he really was inside. Stern, after staying aloof from the press for years, has suddenly turned into a ubiquitous and cooperative talk-show guest -- the big, shaggy ''bad boy'' of radio. Friars Club roasts have long served as a sort of free-fire zone, where offensive material can spew...
...consecutive Tour de France titles. Other stars have re-emerged to save a struggling franchise, like Michael Jordan, who proclaimed his 1995 return to the Chicago Bulls after a failed bid at pro baseball with a two-word press release: "I'm back."

In 1983, George Steinbrenner gave Murcer a full 30 minutes to decide if he wanted to end his playing days to move into the booth. He wisely accepted, teaming with the late Phil (Scooter) Rizzuto to form one of the best buddy acts in broadcasting...
...flesh that continues to drive steady interest, particularly from the Italian and British media. An abundance of old photographs have circulated from blogs and social-network pages of the auburn-haired Seattle native in a variety of settings, almost always flashing a girl-next-door smile. That Knox appears sweet adds an extra dose of sympathy for those convinced of her pleas of innocence, while making others ever more furiously convinced that she's hiding a dark side...
