The Greatest American Hero

Unless you've been under a rock for the past week, you already know the story of Jason McElwain. If you don't know the story, go read it.

Yes, we will all see it in theaters by next summer, but there's something about reality that's more compelling. And if you haven't seen the CBS News report on it, go to cbsnews.com and watch "Autistic Teen's Hoop Dreams Come True" (it's also listed as "High School Hero"). It's the first story since 1980 that rivals the US Olympic hockey team's gold medal at Lake Placid for miraculous status. Both stories, of course, come from upstate New York, which is the birthplace of two of the hombres.
