...inside the PC caf? these days. Phuong Huu Ly, 20, a junior at Santa Ana college, wanted to play Counterstrike here one night at the end of December but all the computers were taken, so he stepped out for a smoke. Once outside, according to police, he encountered four gang members, one of who allegedly stabbed him in the head with a screwdriver. He died in a nearby hospital eight hours later. Police have said that Ly was a "gang associate" and that the slaying may have been the result of a rivalry; Ly's family has described...
...Skilling showed up in the lion's den because he thought he could run circles of deniability around Tauzin and his gang. He got in some convincingly righteous sparring with hopped-up committee members, and mostly blamed his apparent ignorance of anything rotten in the state of Enron on the difficult, highly delegatory task of running a large and complex international energy corporation.

But Duncan, with all Andersen's fingers pointed squarely at him, took the Fifth and will hold out until he gets an immunity deal. So as the House got under way Thursday, fed live to the cable news networks, it was Andersen partner C.E. Andrews, and in-house lawyer Nancy Temple splitting hairs about when Justice called and the shredding stopped...
...without the faintest interest in the crystalline world of figure skating could not help marveling at the spectacle. Did the scrappy girl from the trailer parks, who has climbed so high and suffered so much, possibly plot to destroy her rival? Or did her violently jealous husband assemble a gang of goons to act without her knowledge but on her behalf?...And if Tonya Harding turns out to be innocent, how searing must it be that more than a few people could imagine her guilt?...Tonya Harding is not--nor has she ever been--like most skaters. She is neither...
