Ammon's deathbed wishes may not be honored. Pelosi's attorney, Gerald Shargel, says his client is "considering" contesting the new will. In the old document, Shargel says, Ammon's signature is clear. In the new one, he says, it is illegible. Ted Ammon's sister, Sandi Williams, said she will fight to get custody of the twins. And Ammon's cremated remains, plunked down on the Stanhope bar, were supposed to go to the nanny for safekeeping, Ammon's lawyer says. Pelosi, who picked up the box of ashes at the funeral home, has said he plans to sprinkle...

Twice the team stopped CPR, waiting for Jessie's heart to pump on its own. No pulse. Nurse Sandi Miller, who was keeping watch for the arrival of the arm, prayed under her breath as the team continued CPR, then paused for a third time. One doctor felt a faint carotid pulse, another felt a femoral pulse. The blood began to flow on its own. Outside, the ambulance had pulled...
...would have been small comfort to Sandi to know she was not alone. Children of every age cry themselves to sleep over rebuffs, both physical and emotional, suffered at the hands of their peers. Some of the tears--as well as the acts of cruelty that provoke them--are as inevitable and as fleeting as growing pains. And parents want to believe their love can wipe away the rest.
