...part of our history. It's kind of a relic. A survivor." DAVID SUNDMAN, president of the Littleton Coin Co. in New Hampshire, about the $2 bill, which the U.S. government is considering printing for the first time in seven years...
...days later he awoke to find himself paralyzed from the chest down. Still in the intensive-care unit, he felt strangled by a noose of pain and needed three excruciating gasps of air to cry for help.

He unearthed a phone call to Littleton police on the morning of the shootings from the father of Eric Harris, one of the killers, anguished that his son might be involved. And there is the film's clip of a TV reporter on the Columbine crime scene announcing that "Harris' diary also detailed ideas about hijacking an airplane and crashing into New York City...
