AN UNUSUAL SPORTS VENUE: The Fourth St. steps--from a bluff to a canyon near the beach, they're an aerobic workout and unlikely pickup spot

...some time for his own personal enjoyment. Americans can identify with that. Even though Tony’s a lot more powerful than most of us will ever be, we’re not jealous of him because we see his vulnerable side.
