That fruitless plea was one of many being heard this week at the doors to the United Center as thousands of delegates, Democratic staff and members of the press struggle to enter the hall amid tight but amateurishly disorganized security. Michael Jordan, whose Bulls play in the Center, never saw it like this.

Like so many spinal-cord injuries, Reeve's resulted from a fluke accident. Originally, he was not even headed for the riding event in Culpeper; he had signed up to enter an event in Vermont when friends persuaded him to change his plans.

When she nodded yes, they squealed, "We want to be like you!" Thanks to Faulkner's Pyrrhic...
Members of the NASA-led team arrived in Washington fully prepared to enter the fray. They distributed copies of their peer-reviewed report, which the prestigious journal Science accepted for publication in this week's issue, and displayed some remarkable scanning electron-microscope images of the tiny structures found inside the meteorite...
