...vital center" of this Inaugural are such artists as cellist Yo-Yo Ma, dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and country music singer Trisha Yearwood. Cymbals and symbols have been muted: there will be no walk across the Memorial Bridge arm in arm with hundreds of schoolchildren while bells ring from coast to coast. This time the Clintons rejected a suggestion that five-year-olds build a Tinker Toy bridge to the 21st century--too frivolous, they decided. The President spent hours sweating the details of Monday morning's national prayer service and handpicked Arkansas poet Miller Williams to muse at the swearing...

...Carolina's Research Triangle Park is the region's showcase for jobs and technology. Nearby are the resources of Raleigh and Durham and three universities.

Equally important, the trip would provide...
...Fula was our biggest hope," says Manning, who at least thinks he knows who didn't shoot Shakur. He dismisses the idea that Shakur was victim of a rivalry with East Coast rappers. He doubts the murder was gang related, despite Knight's longtime affiliation with the Bloods. Manning believes Shakur died because of "somebody being dissed," but that the somebody was not the victim of the beating administered by Knight, Shakur and friends hours before the shooting and captured in a hotel-security videotape. Confusing? One thing seems clear: Shakur's undying popularity. His posthumous album, The Don Killuminati...
