Injuries of the Rich and Famous
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By Paul Gray/Reported by David Ellis
</p>
<p> Power and celebrity are not necessarily buffers against the
odd little vicissitudes of life. Accidents do happen. Ask any
of the following notables:
</p>
<p> Richard Darman. Bush's Budget Director usually tries to trip
up congressional Democrats, but last week he slipped and fell
on the steps of a McDonald's. It took 100 stitches to repair
injuries to his head and face.
</p>
<p> Calvin Klein. The world-famous fashion designer apparently
isn't cut out for the sporting life: he suffered a concussion,
two broken ribs, a bruised lung and a head laceration after
being thrown from a horse on Long Island last month.
</p>
<p> Dan Rather. The combative CBS News anchor suffered back
injuries in 1986 when two men accosted him on New York City's
Park Avenue and roughed him up while mysteriously demanding,
"Kenneth, what is the frequency?"
</p>
<p> George Steinbrenner. The now deposed Yankee owner once said
he encountered two loudmouthed Los Angeles Dodgers fans in an
elevator. While he "clocked" them and broke his hand in the
process, his victims were never identified.
</p>
<p> Morton Downey Jr. The acerbic talk-show host claimed he was
attacked in a San Francisco men's room by Nazi skinheads, who
chopped off some of his hair and scrawled a swastika across his
face. Skeptical officials made no arrests.
