...study published early this year, Dr. Marco Battaglia of San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy, recruited 49 third- and fourth-grade children and administered questionnaires to rank them along a commonly accepted shyness scale.

The children who scored high on the shyness meter, it turned out, had a consistently hard time deciphering the neutral and the angry faces...

Lajeunesse peeked over Lussier to look at the gunman. "His face was a mixture of anger and fear," she recalls. Their eyes met. He raised his gun and fired. Lajeunesse ducked. She felt something warm and wet coating her jeans. It was Lussier's blood. "I thought I was going to die," Lajeunesse says, but her friend had taken the fatal blow. "Chase saved my life...
