The presidency carries with it a moral responsibility that ought to humble even the most self-confident leader.

A born rebel who took to smoking at six and shoplifting as a teenager, the reigning world champion is known for his flashy sports cars, below-shoulder-length blond hair and stormy relationship with his coach. "I have no education, no profession. Now it is time for me to look after my future and make provision for it," he says. Sjoberg calls the 8-ft. barrier his next goal "because it is such a big thing in the United States," where appearance fees run high on the indoor circuit...
