...according to Professor of English and American Literature Daniel G. Donoghue, England might have missed the millennium. The king's scribes, he said, kept faulty records, and may have thought the date was 1049 or 1069, when it was actually 999. The error was not discovered until it was already 1000, he said lightheartedly...
Instead, Darrell believes Rachel's death was meant to be. He believes this because of the eerily prophetic journals Rachel kept, as well as a number of "visions" experienced by others that prove, say the Scotts, that the killings at Columbine were "a spiritual event...
...where? While the G's, dressed down like tourists, students and street people, kept their eyes on the Russian agent, a second team of FBI agents and personnel from the State Department's office of diplomatic security was covertly scouring the department with a Geiger-counter-size debugging device.

Before putting him on drugs that kept his heartbeat regular, in 1998, doctors had to apply an electrical current across his chest on three different occasions to get his heartbeat back to normal. But such interventions are routine; they are nothing like the drama-charged ER version. Those are applied only in cases of ventricular fibrillation--a type of irregular heartbeat that is different from the kind Bradley has and more dangerous because it occurs in the two chambers of the heart that...
