...rancid, the abuse by the school's athletes so relentless, that it drove these boys to murder. The police investigation provides the school with its best defense. "There is nowhere in any of the sheriff's or school's investigation of what happened that shows this was caused by jock culture," says county school spokesman Rick Kaufman. "Both Harris and Klebold dished out as much ribbing as they received. They wanted to become cult heroes. They wanted to make a statement...

It's like seven degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon, but it's really like two degrees of Kevin Bacon. I guess I was characterized as a jock in high school. I played basketball, volleyball and track and did rodeo in the summers. It was normal: If you were sports-inclined, you would do it all the time. I guess I encompassed it all into one when I came to Harvard--rugby...
