Elizabeth Catherine Bush was no Charles Andrew Williams. She didn't shoplift booze or boast of pulling a Columbine. Bush was a quiet eighth-grader who attended Bishop Neumann High School in Williamsport, Pa., a cozy Roman Catholic school that holds spaghetti suppers and sock hops. A stickler for safety, Bush lectured the school bus driver for speeding through railroad crossings. She tacked posters of Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King Jr. to her bedroom walls and affixed pictures of the Columbine victims to the bulletin board over her desk. Her parents say she wanted to be a human-rights...
...between those who were being picked on" and their tormentors. But Bush just as readily recoiled when those taunts were turned on her and students started making fun of her appearance. Bush's parents claim the ridicule was so severe at the public junior high Bush attended before Bishop Neumann that students, on occasion, actually pelted her with stones.

As she fired the gun, she allegedly said, "No one thought I would go through with this." It is unclear whether she had told anyone of her intentions...
...rewarding life of studio mixing. The most important of the "overdub" days were those that we spent singing. The Humming's tunes specialize in three and four part harmonies, so getting solid vocal takes was more important (if but slightly) than my glockenspiel part. We sang into a Neumann microphone, a piece of German engineering that can send shivers down the spine. Look carefully to behold the soft, silver metals and finely knit wires, I was told. Don't get too close though, don't touch. You wouldn't want to disrupt its vibe. The Neumann...
