Fergusson placed second in the triple jump with a leap of 15.57 meters. While the triple jump may be his best event, he proved himself in the long jump this weekend. Fergusson cracked the seven-meter mark for the first time this season, with a leap of 7.20 meters that earned him second place...
Luckily, there are recognizable warning signs, many experts agree. Ninety percent of suicidal teens are depressed, and depression tends to cause certain types of behavioral changes. "There's no one symptom that's going to leap out to a parent," says Kay Redfield Jamison, professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the author of Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide.

Later, as we watch playbacks--a tight shot of a drenched Hanks rolling his eyes--Zemeckis offers another. "It's Moses! You're talking to God!" Hanks laughs at his woebegone image, his voice dropping to a thunder-of-Jehovah bass: "'Damn you!' That's Chuck Heston...
...looking for laughs. Kanfer, a former TIME critic, deserves no censure for failing to amuse with his large, serious and occasionally logy biography. For one thing, no writer could possibly explain what made Groucho Marx so funny. The printed page cannot show what he could do with a quick leap of his eyebrows, much less with his preposterous body, its upper half canted illogically forward from those scurrying legs. His voice?
