The couple would like to keep Adrian in the Roman Catholic school system but cannot because first-grade tuition would be $2,500 a year. After attending a Catholic kindergarten, Adrian is a first-grader in a public school that his father says is "not the kind of environment anyone would want for their kids." Rita's parents now baby-sit for Clarissa while her mother works, but the grandparents plan to move to Texas in a year...

The police did dig up a large cache of explosives--sticks of TNT, detonators and a silencer--buried under a sandbox in a kindergarten run at home by the Amirs' mother (who has tearfully disowned her son Yigal). But none of it was used in the assassination of Rabin, which seemed to be carried out in a haphazard rather than a well-planned fashion. Police have indicated they intend to charge Yigal Amir and one other man with murder; the others could be charged with helping to plan the assassination or knowing about...
