After graduating in 1987--and being voted by his classmates "Most Likely Not to Be Forgotten"--Cunanan moved on to the University of California at San Diego, where he majored in history.

No wonder he's suffering from an irregular heartbeat and taking sedatives...

The 10-foot-tall sculpture of an emaciated woman holding her dead child as she watches her grown son leave with her other child provides a depiction of a family and country broken apart by famine.
