...there are two key ways in which Fogle's road diverges from his friends'. One is his refusal to join a lawsuit. In May, six of the miners (the other abstainers were Mark Popernack and John Unger) filed a civil suit against Quecreek's operator, Black Wolf Coal Co., claiming that it should have known how close the water hazard next door was.

Randy Fogle and another of the miners, John Unger, do some motivational speaking, sometimes for money and sometimes for free. Not long ago, he talked to 5,000 children in Pittsburgh. "I told them," he says, "the thing that saved us was God and the people who rescued us. That's the bottom line. But we never gave up. So no matter what you do or what you're in, if you always try, you are going to get what you want. The basic thing is to never give up."

...longtime buddy's Costello in 1966's "The Fortune Cookie," as the hapless cameraman trampled by a runaway football player and browbeaten into filing a false insurance claim by his ambulance-chasing brother-in-law. In 1968's "The Odd Couple," Lemmon was the surrealistically fastidious Felix Unger to Matthau's slovenly Oscar Madison - a movie whose comedic bliss is occasionally spoiled by the discomfort brought on by the sheer force of Lemmon's unrelenting loserishness.
