...short, rumpled lawyer named Danny Coulson watched it all on a TV monitor from the "submarine," the FBI's windowless command center in Washington. His FBI supervisors and Attorney General Janet Reno had been there following the progress all morning. Coulson's eyes were tired, black underneath, but he was hopeful by nature and still thought the plan would work. He founded the hrt, and he had been here before.

...noted, "We have been given a pause, not a plan." But after the verdict in the second King trial was read early Saturday morning, most voices raised were ones of relief and approval. President Clinton stated that the King panel had "really tried to do justice." His Attorney General, Janet Reno, simplified: "Justice was done." And near the intersection of Florence and Normandie, the South Central epicenter of last year's riots, a man exulted. "We're going to barbecue," he said. "We're going to relax.
