After Katrina, you challenged Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu about what officials were doing. Did you step over the line? I don't think I did. I'd been on Larry King several nights that week, hearing politicians thank one another and talk about how this was an unpredictable and unprecedented disaster. And you know what?

No, this Bavarian hamlet of 130,000 isn't home to BMW, or host of a World Cup soccer match over the next month. But in 1895, a University of Wurzburg physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered a form of electromagnetic radiation called the X ray, helping millions upon millions of sickened, frustrated patients cure what ails them. And over a century later, the city produced a blond, shaggy, 7-foot jump shooter named Dirk Nowitzki, helping countless sickened, frustrated...
