TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.

A hotly contested trial, especially one raising explosive issues like claims of discrimination, often produces significant factual evidence capable of being interpreted in more than one way. Patricia Hennessy's suit against Penril Datacomm Networks, Inc. was such a case. A jury heard the case for ten days in 1994. Penril, which generally lost the battle below, is now here looking for relief from the judgment.
