...cheap plastic chess set at the local candy store. She was eleven at the time and Bobby was six, and together they worked out the moves. Bobby took to the game instantly, trouncing his sister so handily that he soon began playing both ends of the board himself. His alter ego never had a chance. "I tried to be fair and play the best moves for both sides," he says, "but I usually...

Previously McGovern had said that "abortion is a private matter which should be decided by a pregnant woman and her own doctor. Once the decision is made, I do not feel that the law should stand in the way of its implementation." But on a Nebraska television program he said that there should be some restrictions: "You can't let just...
