...CLUES The letter bore the same N.J. postmark as did those sent to Senators Daschle and Leahy in Washington, and the letters appear to have moved through the same sorting machine within seconds of one another. NEXT STEP Officials suggest that cross-contamination of mail could explain Lundgren's fatal infection and hope to find similarities between her case and that of the Bronx woman who died in late October...
CHARGED. SIDNEY DORSEY, 61, former sheriff of De Kalb County, Ga.; with the December 2000 murder of his successor, Derwin Brown; in Decatur, Ga. Dorsey has denied involvement in the fatal shooting, investigated by TIME in February, saying the gunmen who ambushed Brown in his driveway should get the death penalty.

When God creates light, an actor lights a cigarette; for a fatal storm at sea, a bare-chested thug tosses a bucket of water at the captain and wrestles him into submission in the water. Some stories are enacted, others narrated; still others are a deft mix of the two. A few good-natured modernisms are sprinkled in, but they never interfere with...
