...closer analysis of the election gives a very different message. First, Jeff did better than anybody expected. A week before the election, the Arch City Chronicle, one of the few papers that endorsed Jeff, predicted that Jeff would finish in fourth place, 7 points behind Carnahan.

The gods of Olympus answered her silent prayer. The 9,000-ton roof segment moved - just. The closing, fittingly, was excruciatingly slow, the huge steel arch moving at a rate of 5.5 m/h as teams of engineers and builders hung like spiders from ropes and perched...
