He's left & gone away

Cover Story | In the era of Revoltin' Rodman-the flamboyant basketball star known appropriately as "the worm"-the death of Joltin' Joe DiMaggio was big news. Known for decades as the symbol of a better America, Mr. DiMaggio typified the difference between heroism and celebrity: He interrupted his career to serve the nation during WWII; he never publicly trashed his ex-wife whose behavior helped trash the culture; he started a children's hospital. The question remains, where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

In this issue: "Joe DiMaggio: In memoriam," March 20, 1999
