James Madison—who beat Wake Forest, BC and Duke—and Louisville, who beat Kent State twice and hosts the national championships, have the clear edge for two of the spots. The two teams could only be considered on the bubble because they have so many losses to teams out of NCAA contention...
...torn loose, making me wonder, “Now where do I fit?” And it didn’t stop there. It went on for another year, until the 1970 riot. I think the 1970 event was bigger.

Ford grew up in a disciplined household, with a set time for homework and an early bedtime. The civil-rights views of his father Kent greatly influenced him.

When Brandon Kent, the 9-year-old Texas boy, started taking Depakote and Risperdal, his body began to swell. Then he switched to Topamax, which made him lethargic. Eventually he was put on a mix of Tegretol and Risperdal, which have stabilized him with few side effects. Kyle Broman in Los Angeles is having a harder time but has grown calmer on a combination of Risperdal and Celexa, an antidepressant that for now at least does...
