Bloggers have been blamed for lots of sins - but murder? On Feb. 3, 17-year-old Bryan Grove allegedly stabbed to death his girlfriend's mother in the bedroom of her suburban Denver home. Friends say that he and Tess Damm, 15, hated Linda Damm because of her drinking. Police found Damm's body, crammed into the trunk of a garaged car, when they arrested Bryan and Tess more than three weeks later, on Feb. 28, following an anonymous tip. Between the murder and the arrests, neighbors heard loud music from the house, saw teens coming and going...
After leaving school, Kwame trained as a sculptor. Working from a photo supplied by grieving relatives, he would mold the face of a mother or father or child for a gravestone or craft statues of Mary, Jesus and the saints for the many churches that were springing up across the country.

The President's blond daughter, perhaps best known for taking creative license with her driver's license, is writing Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, a nonfiction book due this fall about a 17-year-old single mother who is HIV-positive. Bush, 25, who has been interning in Latin America for UNICEF (which will get a portion of the proceeds), says she hopes to "motivate young Americans to increase their awareness of other young people around the world." If only she had connections, the book could...
...abstraction of the photograph, the woman is, at first, hidden from the viewer. Discovering her amidst the jumble of bright squiggles becomes an act of undressing her. The water-as-clothing motif appears in several of the other photographs, and is part of the larger allegory of water-as-mother. Clergue’s nudes are not merely in the water, but are absorbed in it, as if flesh and water were the same transmutable substance. If water is mother in Clergue’s visual vocabulary, then the city is man. Clergue’s industrial skylines serve...
