...From Warm Springs, Ga., where he died, the funeral train moved slowly through the rural South to a service in Washington, then past the now thriving cities of the North, and finally to Hyde Park, N.Y., in the Hudson River Valley, where he was born. Wherever it passed, Americans by the hundreds of thousands stood vigil, those who had loved him and those who came to witness a momentous passage in the life of the nation. Men stood with their arms around the shoulders of their wives and mothers. They stood in clusters, heads bowed, openly weeping. They clasped their...
...pathologically happy and infectiously enthusiastic. Today's whistle-stop is typical. As usual he's smiling, shaking hands and shocking new employees with his distinctive laugh, a rapid honk that sounds like a flock of Canadian geese on nitrous oxide. He's an average-size man with thinning hair, warm brown eyes and a face that suggests Kevin Spacey with more than a hint of Frank Perdue.

Sometimes you just feel a little warm and dizzy. Other times your heart is pounding so fast you're afraid it will leap out of your chest. Either way, the irregular heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation can seem very alarming. But the condition, which affects 2 million Americans and caused presidential hopeful Bill Bradley to cancel an afternoon of West Coast appearances last week, is not always the intimation of mortality that it seems. A lot depends on just how healthy the heart is in the first place. And in the case of this former Knick forward, who still occasionally...
