...Brent Hershman just wanted to get home. He had worked a 19-hour day as an assistant cameraman on the set of Pleasantville, a comedy starring Jeff Daniels, and he had about an hour's drive ahead of him. When he got on the road, it was already 1 a.m., but he had promised his eight-year-old daughter that he would be home when she woke...
Neither the Fussell nor the concluding work, Richard Strauss's "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks," matched the excellence of the Rimsky-Korsakov.

Lawrence Smith, a processor for Photo Craft Laboratories, which develops photos for the Boulder County coroner's office, and Brent Sawyer, a private investigator and former Boulder County deputy sheriff, allegedly handed the photos over to the Globe for a $5,500 pay-off. Smith, 36, who made only $200 for the act that could get him 8 1/2 years in jail, stands accused of theft, tampering with physical evidence, obstruction...
