...favorite such story concerned a very successful wrestling coach in a public high school in Ohio. At the state semifinals, his team got in a huge brawl with its opponent and was ejected from the tournament. Although everybody in the community "knew" the coach had encouraged his wrestlers to get involved in the fisticuffs, the coach was so well-loved that a hearing acquitted the coach of any blame...

The little prodigy who can already do a double flip rarely lives near one of the dozen or so shrines where the top coaches preside: either a family relocates to a place like Colorado Springs or Lakewood, Ohio, or the parents make boarding arrangements.

...result they could survive outside a bubble, but some of them still tended to be sickly. A better treatment was needed, and Anderson thought he had the answer. In the world's first approved gene-therapy trial, his team extracted white blood cells from two young Ohio girls with the disease, inserted normal ADA genes into the cells, and reinjected them. The hope was that the blood cells would begin churning out enough natural ADA to boost the immune system measurably. They did. Last May the patients, now 7 and 12, appeared at a press conference, thriving as never before...
...that's precisely what Blaese did -- only a week before the triumphant press conference last May. Going back to one of the original Ohio girls, he inserted healthy ADA genes into stem cells he had coaxed out of her bone marrow. He then inserted the altered cells into the bloodstream, hoping they would find their way back to the marrow. The same experiment has since been repeated several times on infants, whose stem cells are even more abundant and easier to reach. The children seem to be thriving, but no results have been published...
Pennsylvania opened the season with a 77-62 demolition of USC at Los Angeles, then followed with a three-point loss to basketball power Ohio State, 83-80 (at OSU). From then on, the Quakers have not lost a game while knocking off powerful squads like Washington (71-68) and Georgia (81-79), as well as blowouts against Haverford, Farleigh Dickenson and Lehigh...
