Frantic family members and blinking squad-car lights surrounded Antonio Ramirez. Knocked down by a passing pickup truck, the six-year-old boy screamed in pain as he lay on a curbside patch of grass in a south Los Angeles County barrio. For paramedics Edwin St. Andrew, 27, and Walter Tayenaka, 32, summoned to an "unknown T.C." (traffic collision), the moment was routine yet unnerving. The boy briefly lost consciousness and appeared to have broken bones. They had to move him quickly to a hospital. "You never know about kids," explained St. Andrew. "They seem to be doing well...

...Experience right now doesn't do a thing for me other than tell me, boy, I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me, and I know what the road is. I know a bunch of different roads to get there. If I get to the Olympics, that says age is no difference. I will have proved that. Then who are you going to bet on? All things being equal, you go with the guy who's been on the block more times than the next guy. I've been on the block at the Olympics about...
