...only with Bradman the man but with Bradman the cricketer - quite a feat considering The Don's record, which marks him as easily the best ever. Fingleton claimed that in a lead-up match to the Bodyline series of 1932-33, Bradman, suspecting he was to be the target of short-pitched bowling from England's fast men, beseeched the rookie Fingleton to shelter him when the pair were batting together. "These blighters are after me," Bradman is alleged to have said. "They intend to bowl at my head. Will you take [Gubby] Allen for me?" Bradman always denied saying...

"From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others," said Doug Holtz-Eakin, a McCain senior policy adviser. "Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis.
