Azita Milanian reunited with Matthew Whitaker, the newborn baby she found (close to death) abandoned on the side of a trail 20 years ago. They were reunited on Whitaker's birthday — 20 years from the day he was found — May 16, 1998.

Imagine convincing 1991 You that in 30 years, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will call out U.S. President Donald Trump for treason. All just weeks after -- I kid you not -- Aunt Becky from Full House gets out of prison. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Try to read this and not cry. Try:
"Please don't die," the jogger said to the baby. "I will never leave you. I love you."
"He grabbed my wrist and stopped crying...He still had his umbilical cord hanging from his stomach."

It's 1989. You're told that in 30 years, three out of four of these stars will have been criminally charged -- and one will be the U.S. President...facing possible criminal charges. How do you choose?

Richard Lasher was on his way to ride his dirt bike around Spirit Lake when Mount St. Helens erupted in front of him. "Had Lasher made it to the lake, he'd almost certainly have died."

I meet many young startup people backstopped by wealthy parents and grandparents —all sorts of safety nets; no college debt — who urge others to quit their jobs and fail often. We don’t talk enough about privilege in entrepreneurship.

Here, Patrick Moraz, briefly with YES in the mid-'70s, looks like a cross between Rush's Geddy Lee, Queen's Brian May and Yanni. Maybe a dash of Robert De Niro. This photo is all sorts of glorious.

I moved to Manhattan with a garment bag and a dream -- to become a business writer. Didn't even have a cell phone until October 2000. Thank you to all the editors, friends, sources, roommates and doormen who believed in me. Also: Sal & Carmine Pizza.
