...could even be true. Though ballistics results have not been released, District Attorney Dave Thomas told TIME that the forensics suggest double suicide. But given the location of one wound and the fact that the bullet that passed through Klebold's head has not been recovered, he doesn't dismiss the possibility of a murder-suicide. Says Thomas: "We may never know." Game Over...
Theater has come a long way since the days of ancient Greece, and British playwright Alan Ayckbourn is proof. If Aristotle was willing to dismiss any play that didn't strictly observe the three unities of time, place and action, one can only imagine what he would have to say to Ayckbourn. The second scene of his play How the Other Half Loves, in which two different dinner parties that take place in two different homes on two different days are presented simultaneously, would probably be enough to make the founder of Western literary criticism roll over in his grave...
...just dismiss these members of the so-called Trenchcoat Mafia as isolated cases of mental illness and parental failure. They have been taught by their elders that their desires are paramount and that it is okay to achieve them at all costs.

Pincham has filed a lawsuit against the city seeking $100 million in damages for the wrongful arrest of his client. Prosecutors blame the botched investigation on procedural slips and dismiss any suggestion of intentional wrongdoing by detectives handling the case.

Once an A student, family members say the boy, now a third-grader, brings home grades that range from failing to barely passing. He has been so tormented by his peers that rather than fight...
...might go ahead and dismiss a few of the too tiny suggestions (those mesh backpacks you keep hearing about still carry guns--just stinky ones wrapped in gym clothes) as well as the too big ones (Ohio Representative James Traficant used Littleton to try to revive the idea of prayer in schools, which the Supreme Court has ruled illegal about 38 times). But what about New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman's proposal to spend $10 million turning schools into little fortresses, with security better than that at the nuclear lab in his state? Or more gun control, as New York...
