...snugly in place, flanked by the president and vice-president of the Pudding (both in drag, and both willing to take a bullet for her). The police chief feigns true annoyance as he warns people to clear away. No one budges. The cattle truck is the first to go, and pulls away toward Mass. Ave. The cattle start to yell, because the Pfeiffer-bearing Saab has yet to move and they're being dragged away from her against their will. Finally, the Saab lurches forward...
...week's most bizarrely charged moment came late on Friday when Ferguson cross-examined Maryanne Phillips, who had taken a bullet in the chest and played possum to avoid more. ``It was your statement that you played dead and that you were closing your eyes?'' Ferguson asked. ``I didn't want you to shoot me again,'' she replied levelly, this time staring right back at him. Afterward she said, ``It felt quite good to face the person who shot...
...Bronco--Coward! Responding to this letter, written by a self-described ``average middle-aged housewife,'' Simpson wrote, ``I want to state unequivocally that I did not commit these horrible crimes.'' He added, in a book published last Friday, that he would have jumped in front of a bullet for his dead ex-wife Nicole--or a train, for that matter.

The driver, Martin Peake, 17, and a passenger, Karen Reilly, 18--joyriders, rather than I.R.A. terrorists -- were killed. In 1993 a judge convicted Clegg of murder on the grounds that he fired the bullet that killed Reilly after the car had passed the checkpoint and the soldiers were no longer in danger. The sentence: life in prison. Two weeks ago, Britain's appeal court reluctantly upheld the life term under the requirements of a law that it criticized as too unbending. The ruling intensified...
Well, not quite. The missile, also built by Northrop, was racked with skyrocketing costs. Last month the Pentagon killed the $13 billion program. ``Tee-Sam is a silver bullet,'' Deputy Defense Secretary John Deutch said. ``The problem is that it's become too expensive a silver bullet.'' Northrop has since come up with a plan for 128 interim, kind-of-precision-guided weapons for the B-2 starting next year--about enough for a one-day bombing mission. Northrop is confident that a follow-on program will design a true pinpoint bomb for the B-2 in three years. That...
