...Monday morning, and Jobs is onstage at the Flint Center in Cupertino, obsessing. Tomorrow the auditorium will overflow with thousands of Apple loyalists; right now he's rehearsing the killer moment where he says, "Say hello to the new iMacs," and the machines glide out from behind the dark curtain and across the stage. But the current lighting leaves their translucence insufficiently vivid on the gigantic onstage screen. So Jobs wants the lights brighter and turned on earlier in the roll-out.

Still, the original tale had been so much neater: the evil, deranged brother and the righteous, heartbroken brother who put a killer out of commission.

Perhaps the BGLTSA should first provide a more comfortable environment and then, when such students are ready, involve them in the pursuit of political goals that do not divide...
Murphy also has to wonder about whether his defense has a killer instinct. This year's seniors were on the '97 championship team that gave up only 12.3 points per game and didn't allow a rushing touchdown in league play. But they were sophomores then, following the lead of an extremely talented senior class. Now, they have the responsibility for closing out games, and they're finding it isn't as easy as it used...
