    • Thomas said: The story of a boy who wanted to live in a mansion, and everything he did to get there.
      Quote: The three sons of Verna Underwood were Darren, Dana, and Darwin, and when they were young she drove them around Buckhead to spend imaginary cash. Each boy had a million dollars. She took them to Formula One Imports, where they caressed the Porsches and Lamborghinis, and she showed them the mansions on Tuxedo Road. You see that? she said. Work hard and you can have that. They were not poor. Verna drove a Cadillac Eldorado, and her new husband was a construction superintendent. They lived in a respectable ranch house outside Marietta. But Verna told her boys they could have more, if they wanted it enough. The imaginary million could become real. Added: November 19, 2009 at 11:08AM EST

    • Thomas said: The economy was faltering then, in the spring of 2008. Gasoline was $3.56 a gallon. We were five years and 4,000 dead soldiers into Iraq. The story jolted us back to sanity, people said, and restored our faith, and reminded us that goodness and decency and honor still exist. All it took was an improbable swing by a .153 hitter. A broken strand of connective tissue. A situation with no clear precedent. And an astonishing proposal from a young woman named Mallory.
