...sunglasses, and I was holding a hairbrush like a microphone….You are kind of at your chairman’s mercy. FM: Did the JonBenet case hit close to home? Some people claim it was her objectification, on the part of her parents, that caused her murder. How do you respond to this claim? WGH: The Jonbenet case, I have never taken it that seriously. I have always thought of it as something that you read in line as you are waiting in the grocery store, and it has never hit close to home. Not that I don?...
...senior Marine general leaves his Pentagon office and heads to Capitol Hill Wednesday with grim news from Iraq. In a series of private briefings, he's expected to tell lawmakers that serious criminal charges - possibly including murder - are going to be leveled against as many as five Marines for the bloodbath at Haditha last year.

Hardest hit were not metropolises like New York City and Los Angeles...
...Soldier's Story, a black military officer is investigating the murder of an unpopular black soldier near an Army base in Louisiana. Sergeant Waters, the victim, brutally compels a young black private to give up his country ways and "quit thinking like a nigger." It was a rarely seen public representation of our private interactions: the impatience some blacks have with a victim mentality. Shocking. Powerful. A message to a white populace that we are not lemmings. And that even among ourselves, we're not a single tribe...
