    This truly is a book excerpt that doesn't suck. I may have to buy this book, unless there's some sort of Limewire-esque technology for books.

    "At approximately the same time Kathy's life was ending, Roger Cle­mens' night was thriving. As she was staring down a gunman, he was facing the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium. As she was being pronounced dead, he was being pronounced alive,"
