Johnson tosses pebbles at the pink plastic tricycle in her backyard in Ruckersville, a small Virginia town in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The tricycle belongs to Callie, the three-year-old doll who likes to suck ice on summer days and watch Jeff Gordon drive his race car--the three-year-old who University of Virginia Medical Center officials believe is the biological daughter of Rogers, not Johnson. Which would mean that Johnson's genetic child is the girl that Rogers and her boyfriend Kevin Chittum named Rebecca. They were raising her a couple of hours away...

Paula Johnson is sitting on the steps behind the little brown house she rents on a road called Morning Glory. She draws hard on a long More cigarette, one of many she'll suck down during this week from hell. The day before, she made her national television debut, explaining through streaming mascara that she has no idea how one of a parent's worst nightmares had come true for her.

...reward for being a suck-up. Ballmer operates at a decibel level bordering on OSHA's mandatory ear-protection threshold, a one-man surround-sound. He and Gates, who became fast friends in 1973 during their freshman year at Harvard, have always enjoyed what they refer to as a "high bandwidth" relationship; it means they can scream at each other but are still able to listen and respond. "We fairly well anticipate what the other guy is thinking, and can finish each other's sentences," says Ballmer of his 25-year relationship with Gates. "That doesn't mean we always...

...particular, are. If by lying on his stomach, a baby's face becomes mashed against the mattress cover, he can have his breathing passage blocked or can breathe from a small pocket of air until it is depleted of oxygen. Babies' lungs just aren't strong enough to suck in air through the sheets, quilts or mattress covering.
