One dramatizes our Nov. 11, 1991, cover story on privacy by showing a small round hole being sawed from the other side of a blank wall, and then an eye appearing in the hole. Another, keyed to our coverage of the Los Angeles riots, shows a touching sequence of photo portraits, each of which ignites and burns as the narrator quotes Rodney King: "Can we all get along...

Gloriously fat wild pigs, elsewhere the favorite game of hunters, look up from their rooting and peer at us calmly through the low brush for several minutes before moving off toward new forage...
Wetlaufer, who herself worked for The Crimson, the Associated Press and the Miami Herald, has a reporter's eye for detail that brings a dose of real life quirkiness to her tale.
