And if you can't get a ring with George Steinbrenner trying to buy one for you, then all the political skill in the world isn't going to make...
...faster than Gould's, and who's racing in five other events. Miatke is 16, Gould's age when she quit. She might lack a smidgin of the older woman's talent, but is confident, far-sighted (and looked after) in ways Gould never was.
