130 PORTRAIT: ANDRE BISHOP By JACK O'BRIEN
Though he's run Lincoln Center Theater for 25 years and won 15 Tonys, there are things Andre Bishop still can't do: lie convincingly or worry less. To a close colleague, those are just two more reasons Bishop makes everyone better. Photograph by Annie Leibovitz.

By MICHAEL LEWIS When the author learned that a pair of Israeli psychologists had pioneered the theory behind Moneyball, his 2003 best-seller, several decades earlier, he wanted to know more.

Photographs by William Friedkin.
