Two Moments Of Truth

Jim McCay's moment of truth came in 1965, in an appliance store in Watts, with a television in his arms and a riot raging outside.

Jessica Rowe's moment of truth came in 2005, in a Hummer limo on the 405 freeway in Costa Mesa CA, with a body full of booze after a night of partying.

The two stories are told on page one of today's OC Register, and they tell a lot about the difference character and unclouded judgment can make in a life.

Jessica's story. Jim's story.
