Annamarie Miller is a dedicated schoolteacher with an obvious love of history and ideas, who dresses fastidiously in neatly pressed shirts and slacks and is inclined to exclaim "Gosh!" when she gets excited. Though hardly a menacing presence, Miller, 27, is a determined renegade who refuses to take any authority figure's word at face value. It all began, she says, during her student days at California State University at Chico. "I became disillusioned by the revisionism of history," she says.

...noticed two things about her before I even knew her,” Smith recounts. “One was that she could really throw a ball, and the second was that she was really athletic. And I thought, my gosh, that’s a great combination. If I could ever teach her how to swim, we’d really have something there...
