Being right--accurate--has been important to Wolfe since his earliest days as a New Journalist, when he wrote feature stories so vividly, employing such a wide array of techniques borrowed from fiction that some readers didn't believe they could be true. Jann Wenner, founder, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, opened his magazine's pages to early versions of The Right Stuff, Bonfire and A Man in Full, and is a Wolfe friend and fan. "Many years ago, he used to get knocked for making stuff up," Wenner says. "But in my experience with him, which...
This is a story of a pot of gold, but instead of a rainbow, there's a lawsuit over it. Next Monday JANN WENNER is due to show up in Idaho with a mason jar of old gold coins as the first step in a court case over who owns it. Construction worker GREGORY CORLISS, above, right, claims he was digging a driveway on Wenner's woodsy hideaway in Idaho when he noticed some coins in the soil. On further inspection, he and his boss, LARRY ANDERSON, found a mason jar full of them, dating from 1857 to 1914. Corliss...

I can still see Pat unselfishly but knowingly dishing the ball to Asa at the foul line. I can still see Asa taking one more step and then launching himself into the air. Asa sent the ball through the net with...
Every time I step into Wenner Field House, I remember our team and I remember winning our championship. But long after the banner at Wenner that has all of our names from the team is removed, long after the trophics are removed from the trophy case, long after I forget that we even won a state championship, I will remember the lasting friends I made on that team. I will the remember little moments--Asa's first dunk, for example--that have special significance...
