    Extractions: "Plimpton sets out to find . . . what elevates competitors to that level where one man comes out a champ and one a chump. . . . The X Factor is inspirational . . . a witty, charming testimonial to the endurance of the human spirit to succeed."-Roy Richard, Boston Herald George Plimpton is embarrassed. The noted amateur of odd sporting experience has lost one horseshoe match to George Bush, a match that was as much a test of wills as of skills. Now Bush has invited him back for a rematch. How to avoid humiliation the second time? What is that quality-we'll call it the X Factor-that all winners, from famous athletes to successful CEOs, seem to possess? Plimpton sets out to find it. The quest for this elusive ingredient is both hilarious and informative, leading from the locker room to the boardroom, with many strange stops in between. Plimpton corners superstars like Bill Russell and Billie Jean King, famous coaches, the chairman of American Express, sports doctors, and mergers and acquisitions king Henry Kravis, and puts the same question to all of them: what is it that allows an individual, or a team, to outperform competitors who are no less gifted, mentally and physically? Their answers run the gamut from motivational rage to new-age meditation, and Plimpton slowly pieces together a definition of this mysterious winning quality. "An adroit, wise and funny satire of the instant self-help philosophy so beloved of coaches and chambers of commerce. . . . Plimpton has achieved a resounding literary victory of self-deprecating humor."-Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times

    Extractions: Tall professional author and editor who also makes cameo appearances in films. Thoroughly educated, first at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, then at Harvard University where he majored in English and edited the Harvard Lampoon , he has actually lived the lives of the people he writes about, even if only briefly. He served as a tank driver in Italy for the U.S. Army from 1945 through 1948, attended King's College at Cambridge University in England, and founded The Paris Review with two friends, becoming its editor-in-chief in 1953. He devoted the magazine to finding unknown authors and including interviews with noted authors, notably one with Ernest Hemingway that Plimpton conducted himself. His publications include collections of his interviews with famous authors, as well as witty and urbane descriptions of his less-than-stellar exploits on the athletic field (originally written as a series of features for Sports Illustrated ). In 1963, he joined the Detroit Lions football team, an experience captured in his popular book

Or, download the file in MS Word 6.0 format. Report by Michael Finley Many people aren't sure what George Plimpton does for a living. We have seen him involved in so many stunts playing professional sports, being shot out of a cannon, doing celebrity ads on TV, and co-editing the Paris Review . He does so many things, and he brings bushels of style to everything he does. But what is it exactly that he does? He provided the answer as kickoff speaker for The Masters Forum's 1998 Renewal Day. What he is, is a "participatory journalist." Where other writers write about a thing, he gets in there and tries to do it thereby providing a bridge of understanding to fans who may enjoy watching an activity, but have never been in a position to see what it is actually like. He sees himself as a sportswriter. Inspired by a disgraceful but exhilarating adventure in which he joined the Boston Marathon for the last 100 yards, he got it into his head to be like famed sportwriter Paul Gallico, and live out every fan's fantasy of playing on the same field with heroes and reporting on it. His report to us focused on the elusive quality the "X Factor" that made the people he met champions, and kept him from joining their ranks.
