- <p> Educators urging students to hit the books received a
- horrible setback. During a Chicago Bulls home game, spectator Don
- Calhoun, an Indiana salesman, was randomly chosen to try a
- wildly improbable promotional stunt: sink a basket from the
- opposite foul line, 75 ft. away. Amazingly, Calhoun swished the
- shot and grabbed the prize: $1 million.
