...Frank DeAngelis has been listening. He spent July and August serving on two school-safety task forces, reviewing everything from metal detectors to dress codes to having four or five armed officers patrol school grounds. "I'm not sure if that's the answer," says DeAngelis. "I think where money needs to be spent is educating our students about tolerance, about respecting one another, about communication." While Columbine High School did add an additional campus supervisor this year, along with 16 security cameras and a keyless entry system, DeAngelis is most proud of Columbine's efforts at prevention: the Links...
Safra's bank last year alerted the FBI to money-laundering operations emanating from Moscow, and Safra was widely reported to have obsessive fears for his life (Bonnant denies the fears).

Facing criticism that the space agency was wasting money, Goldin declared at the start of his tenure that he would turn the problem into an opportunity, finding ways to do more with less--and to all appearances, the strategy was working. The Mars Pathfinder Lander, built for a tenth the cost of its predecessors, riveted the nation's attention in 1997 with its live feed from the Red Planet's surface.

There is little money to be had in sheepdog trialing; even the richest purses fail to break $3,000. Nor, for the less than dangerous, is there much glory. "You get knocked down," says Adrienne Paier Wienir, 55, an artist from Encino, displaying a fresh bruise on her forehead. "You get covered with dust and sheep snot...
