...calm himself. Returning to his room when the selection was well under way, he looked at a list his roommates had been keeping and slumped into a chair. His birthday had come up fourth. Across the country in California, Stanford University Sophomore Tyler Comann stared at his roommate, Charles Thulin, in disbelief. Against all the odds, his birthday had come up first, Thulin's 366th and last...
