And then, suddenly, it all fell apart. Edison’s stock plummeted as Boston and Dallas schools ended their contracts with the financially troubled company. A few days –before school opened in September, while Edison and school officials fought over how much money per pupil Edison would get, the company sent two tractor-trailers to haul away all the new equipment–except some books and a handful of computers. “It was very painful,” says McKinney, a dignified man who has become a hero in the school’s run-down neighborhood....

New York has worked its way back into playoff contention with wins in 13 of its last 14 games and Alonso believes the team should be aiming for something more than a wild-card spot. “It’s been awesome,” Alonso told reporters Wednesday. “I think we have a chance to really do something great.
