...after getting over the shock of the order, called for an over-18 employee from the back. Squeaking, "Sorry, I'm not allowed to ring it up," he deferred to his co-worker, of dubious age herself. Although his colleague accepted the Florida driver's license without question, the minor requested a second look. Glancing down, he announced, "It says she turns 21 on 2/3/99. She's not 21 yet!"

While John McCain, Bradley's cross-party fellow underdog, has made his physical and mental health an open book, Bradley won't reveal any medical records before 1996. The former Knick has taken the stance that the episodes are minor and that he'll notify the media if he needs to see a doctor or has to alter his campaign schedule for health reasons. "[Bradley's campaign] had been hoping they wouldn't have to disclose this," says Pooley. "But by not talking about it, he ceded control...
