...their first exchange with a Cincinnati family about nine years ago. Why Cincinnati? No special reason, Olga giggles. They got an offer; it was close; they thought they would try it. Since then, they've taken their two kids to homes in San Diego, Toronto, London--and twice to Orlando, where they swap with Floridians Jan and Stuart Omans...
Pitching is what brought the Yankees to their showdown with the Braves. At their best, the Yankees' somewhat aged starters--the thirtysomethings David Cone and Roger Clemens, the 27-year-old Andy Pettitte and the your-guess-is-as-good-as-his Orlando ("El Duque") Hernandez--almost match up with Atlanta's foursome of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Kevin Millwood and Tom Glavine. The rest of the Yankee team is more balanced and more powerful than the Braves.

...plane carrying U.S. Open champion Stewart to Dallas took off from Orlando at 9.19 a.m. but stopped responding to air traffic controllers after 9.45 a.m. That prompted them to call the Air Force, which routinely tracks out-of-control aircraft. Although such planes can be shot down if they present a threat to public safety, that option was never considered in the case of Stewart's plane. Though the Learjet is equipped with masks and other depressurization emergency equipment similar to that of an airliner, some experts believe that insidious - rather than sudden - depressurization can confuse and disorient a pilot...
