...pitchman. In his myriad commercial campaigns--Sprint, MasterCard, DirectTV, ESPN--he manages to seem both sincere and dryly funny. "Mothers out there would buy milk from him," says David Carter, executive director of the U.S.C. Sports Business Institute. "They're not going to have a negative reaction to this guy." Plus, the ads are genuinely entertaining. In a MasterCard commercial, Manning, reversing the roles of peppy fan and star athlete, shouts "You're still the man" at a waitress who has dropped dishes, and tells a clumsy moving team, "All right, guys, they're not saying boo. They're saying...
...chauffeur-driven limousines. Chairman Smith fired back with some broadsides of his own. Perot's office, he complained to the Detroit Free Press, "makes mine look like a shanty-town.

He is also one of America's wealthiest men. His scrappy individualism and spectacular feats...
...only in a videotaped police interrogation after his arrest and the first two charges were brought in February 2002. Played to the jury, the tape shows him mumbling and at times appearing barely cognizant of events. "I'm just a pig farmer," Pickton tells police. "I'm a working guy, that's all I am." When told he was charged with two murders and was being investigated in the disappearances of 50 more women, he laughed.
