Person of the Week
BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM The hopes of the blessed isle rested on his spiky mohawk and healed foot—and David Beckham delivered. The English captain punched in a penalty kick to secure England's 1-0 victory over Argentina. Bookies immediately shortened the odds against the Brits to 7-1

EVEL KNIEVEL
Elderly daredevil to defy death again. Instead of jumping buses, he'll strap rockets to his walker and try to jump the buffet line at Sizzler
GARY KASPAROV
Chess master beats 15-year-old, wins Moscow Grand Prix. Great, but was it necessary to spike the king and do the Icky Shuffle on the board?

Eulogy
By SID SHEINBERG, former president of MCA Inc.

Many have written of LEW WASSERMAN's power, but they don't really understand its source. It didn't derive from his powerful clients, his brain, or his pocketbook, but from the way he lived his life. Medieval knights lived by a Code of Honor. Lew lived the same way.

My colleagues and I were expected to follow his example. Loyalty was very important to Lew: loyalty to clients in his early agent days, loyalty to those who were counting on us in later times. It was no accident that MCA executives frequently spent most or all of their careers with the company. It was like our family. It would take care of us. Honesty was essential to Lew. Our integrity was never to be questioned. And nobody ever wondered about our financial statements. He earned his power over and over again. Lew really wasn't the "last mogul"—but he may have been the last knight.
