...election night proved. Reversing themselves several times didn't encourage the networks to admit at four in the morning that the race was too close to call, that we were in a statistical dead heat and the outcome would have to await, at the very least, an automatic recount. Ever since, Gore has been cast in the role of sore loser whose congressional support could evaporate in an instant, a supplicant trying to win in court what he didn't win at the ballot box. And every day the media persist in calling the race anew. A reporter will read...
...triumphs were legendary. In one day, Oct. 31, 1987, Chris Antley rode nine different horses to first-place finishes, the only jockey in history ever to do so. And in a span of nine years, Antley would win the Kentucky Derby not once but twice, the first time in 1991 aboard Strike the Gold, the second in 1999 aboard Charismatic. Even in defeat, he could be inspiring. Racing the Belmont in 1999, Charismatic came up lame at the end. Television cameras recorded Antley leaping off his mount to brace the ailing leg of the horse, saving the Thoroughbred from...
Jonda Cynecki hasn't seen her twin sister Wanda in 13 years and doesn't hold out much hope that she ever will.

After his marriage broke up, though, D.B. didn't like the way he treated his ex-wife. Well after the two divorced, he abandoned their original settlement agreement, demanding half the house and full custody of their daughter. D.B. saw his demands as unfair--and didn't think much of his parenting skills. "I just felt he was such a pig," she says. So she stopped...
...ended, though, when an aunt died, and D.B. and her brother were the only relatives left to arrange her burial. "I remember thinking, Damn, now I have to see my brother." But the two reconciled somewhat and now talk occasionally on the phone. D.B., now 54, says if she ever needed money, she wouldn't hesitate to ask him for it. She has no money to offer him if the situation were reversed but says, "I would give him lots of time...
