That disaster almost happened. Moceanu, vaulting next to last, wound up short both times, landing ingloriously on her rear end. America's-sweetheart-to-be suddenly looked like what she was--a little girl--and her low scores put the pressure on Strug, anchoring the team in her best event. Strug raced into her vault and landed--shockingly, incredibly--on her seat as well. Worse, she came up limping...
...awakening environmental movement and kept the 1976 Winter Olympics out of Colorado.

Livingstone announced his resignation as head of the Office of White House Personnel Security from the witness table in the 90 minutes of hearings, but he remained a focus of the investigation because the files had wound up in his office. So who chose the "beefy former bar bouncer" (his own plaintive summary of how the press has described him) for such a sensitive job?
