"No, I don't plan to make them take naps in the afternoon, or anything like that," says Kite. "But I am trying to line up Pampers as an official Ryder Cup sponsor."

Daina Bradley said while she looked out the window of the Murrah building on the morning of the blast, she saw a Ryder truck pull up and a man resembling the notorious John Doe No. 2 get out and run away.
