[LM_NET] REF: Real life tragic heros

["Wartman, Anne" <awartman@MAIL.VALPO.K12.IN.US>]

Help!  One of our English teachers asked me to come up with a list of real life 
examples of tragic heroes by the end of the day.  They can be politicians, 
entertainers, sports figures, etc.  Does not matter if they are currently living.  
Refresher: a tragic hero is someone who has a flaw or error in judgment that leads 
to their ultimate downfall.  Oftentimes their downfall is related to excessive 
pride.  I've started a list, but know that all of you will think of some excellent 
examples that I've overlooked.  

Thank you so much!!
