Last week the Sao Paulo-based newsmagazine Veja featured photos of the scantily clad First Lady, noting presidential pique with her high-profile antics.

In Tyson's mind, and the popular imagination, plenty tough. From the start. His teen years, which took him from juvenile prison into the gym of ring wizard Cus D'Amato, made for great copy but little emotional stability. Twenty-eight fights and 26 knockouts later, Tyson was the youngest ever heavyweight champion -- a credit that looks great on a resume but is an invitation to excess for any 20-year-old. Tyson, naturally, RSVPed...
