...acquaintances spoke of T.J.'s resentment of Jason Cheek, a popular boy two years older who had lettered in three sports. Cheek had teased Solomon, they said, but it was unclear if the linebacker was a primary target.

...requiring background checks for all sales at gun shows. But Democrats fear majority leader Dick Armey and whip Tom DeLay will work to declaw any final legislation. So Democrats have set their teeth, demanding action before Memorial Day as a tribute to the victims in Littleton. Emerging from a Friday meeting with the President, in which they coordinated their gun-control strategy, House Democrats nearly climbed over one another to express their indignation.

His lawyers informed TIME that he intended to file suit for "false" charges that "defamed and humiliated" him. But an avid public savored details confirming suspicions of corruption and private profiteering that have swirled around the Suhartos for decades. On Friday, protesters demanding...
...hundreds of miles away, arriving in motor homes as early as Thursday for parties, concerts, qualifying rounds and a junior-circuit Saturday race called the Busch Series. The local newspaper estimates that race fans will drop nearly $70 million into local pockets, and the money starts flowing at a Friday-night fund raiser for local children's charities. About 300 people have come to eyeball their racing heroes and bid on auction items like hats, uniforms and a Jeff Gordon jacket...
