Bidding topped $320,000 before Graf, one of the most celebrated players in women's tennis, intervened.
"Those rackets are supposed to stay with us," she said after making
it's all crazy money, so thank you," he said from the stage.
Agassi offered the next highest bidder a free tennis lesson.

In all, $8.6 million was raised at the benefit for underprivileged, abused and at-risk children in Las Vegas, Agassi's hometown. Agassi called it "an amazing night in an amazing year."

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 9
It's not really natural for you to keep secrets, but you can if you must. You pride yourself on learning to do difficult things, so stick to it. And don't drink adult beverages, either; that would be counter-productive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Others look to you for moral support and leadership. Your good sense is not very common anymore, it's quite rare. Dispense it freely.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8
Even suspecting there might be problems, you need to proceed. Make sure you have an exit strategy already prepared, just in case.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Make sure whatever you build or buy will last. You don't have the time or energy to do it over again. Or the money.
Today is a b
Everybody's not as forthright and honest as you are, as you may have noticed. Trust, but verify.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Let the dishes sit in the sink for a little while longer. You need time to think, and dream, and then start making lists.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6
Familiar routines are best for a while, as often as you can manage. Minimize the items you have to think about; do as much as you can by note.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
Work together and you can have everything you really need. Cut back on all that other stuff for a while. You'll live
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Missouri voters will consider a ballot initiative in November that would ensure all federally allowed embryonic stem cell research could occur in Missouri. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, now the largest funder of Parkinson's research outside the
"Contrary to what (former House Speaker) Tip O'Neill said, politics is not local." Fox told McCaskill supporters Thursday at a restaurant in this St. Louis suburb. "What happens here does affect my three girls, my son, my wife and me, and the 100 million Americans living with a disease that could be helped by stem cell research."
The actor, who has Parkinson's disease, is a strong advocate of embryonic stem cell research. McCaskill has made support for the research a key part of her campaign to unseat
federal government, supports the initiative.
"I'd love to have a cure, but there's a lot of life in the fight," he said.
Fox, who trembled as he spoke, said the disease has diminished some choices in his life. But "if I take time to live with that loss, there's no vacuum. It's filled with opportunity"
