...them, because he was black. The Elkhart Truth reported that one suspect, Jason Powell, 19, had told friends he needed to kill a black person to earn a badge of honor in the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist gang he hoped to join. An Elkhart city councilman, Arvis Dawson, told TIME he had confirmed that report in conversations with police and prosecutors. Neither Powell nor his co-defendant, Alex Witmer, 18, made any comment in court or through their lawyers. A judge entered a plea of not guilty on their behalf...
Powell, who reportedly showed up for his factory job with a freshly shaved head the morning after the shooting, doesn't have a criminal history. Councilman Dawson, who teaches at Westside Middle School, where Witmer was once a student, says Witmer "was always making racist remarks to other students. The word nigger rolled off his lips regularly." Witmer, who police say was driving the car as Powell fired on Richardson, was released in June after serving time in juvenile facilities for a handgun offense. "Everybody is going to have a different view of Alex," said a Witmer relative, who declined...
...country singer, but Hill has made the kind of crossover album you can imagine being plugged at the end of some teen-oriented WB drama such as Dawson's Creek or Roswell. Like Shania Twain, Hill loves showmanship: one of the up-tempo numbers on this album is called Bringing Out the Elvis.

Hill even serves up a romantic cover of a Bruce Springsteen song, If I Should Fall Behind. As you listen, it's hard...
...characters without getting much pressure to do so. One factor is that while coming out is still daunting to actors, there are a number of openly gay TV writers and producers, including Wasteland's Kevin Williamson (who worked a regular character's coming-out story line into Dawson's Creek last season), Oh Grow Up's Alan Ball and W&G's co-creator and co-executive producer Max Mutchnick. In addition, the pioneering DeGeneres is developing a show for CBS. The network says it's unknown whether she'll play a gay character but contends she's free...
...could base a drinking game on how many times someone makes a sweeping generational statement in this postcollege soap from Kevin Williamson (Dawson's Creek). Dawnie (Marisa Coughlin) is writing her anthropology thesis on the "second coming of age" of her "lost" demograph--sorry, "generation"--and the ensemble illustrates it, suffering romantic and career woes and showing how sad it is to be young and gorgeous in the city. Reminiscent of Melrose Place's earnest, unfortunate first season, Wasteland adopts Dawson's chatty self-awareness but lacks its flashes of sweetness and magic...
