...coffee table. On its surface were liter bottles of soft drinks, bags of chips and cookies, and unsteady columns of piled plastic cups threatening to tumble over on top of the large University Dining Services fruit and cheese plate which had pushed them to the edge of the round tabletop. Podolsky and Ben Rahn, the other leader of the group, welcomed everyone and then went through an informal outline of facts and tips; along the way both gave testimonials about their experiences with RSI. The atmosphere was casual but subdued, and the soft cadence of the presentation was broken...

At 7:42 p.m., as it was about to land, the plane clipped the tops of the trees west of Runway 11 and crashed into an Appalachian hillside with a full load of fuel. Onboard the plane were 37 players, 25 supporters, eight coaches and five crew members. None of them survived the fiery crash, the worst ever involving an American sports team. One of the victims was sportscaster...
