Based on the turkey’s weight, the size of its beard and the length of the spurs on its feet, a Texas state-wide hunting agency let Orenstein and his family know that, according to their calculations, Orenstein’s turkey was in fact the biggest turkey caught in the state. Despite the enormity of his accomplishment, Orenstein received little recognition besides being listed in a hunting journal. “All I got was a fake trophy my dad made,” Orenstein says...

Lastly, yes, even the letting, by Todd Klein, deserves kudos for its clarity and variety...
...uproar soon hushes—Fenwick doesn’t even call for time and the All-American doesn’t even have to call for the ball. Maggette pushes the ball the length of the floor, a devastating blend of intensity and cool as the clock ticks on, and finally pulls up for a 10-foot jumper from the right baseline that sucks the life right out of a throng that could smell overtime. Fenwick wins, 70-68, and the media hordes descend upon Maggette. (Did we mention that this is Chicago...
