Williams continued to be picked on, sometimes even by his newfound friends. "I made fun of him--I regret it now," says John Fields, who said he left Santana High earlier in the school year for frequent truancy and is part of the skate-park group. As recently as the Thursday before the killings, Kathleen Seek, 15, a former girlfriend of Williams' back in Maryland, received an instant message from him saying he didn't want to go to school that day for fear of being bullied.

At any rate, Jolie feels right at home in her strange new world. "All the reasons I'm right for this movie are all the reasons...
...immensity and newfound wealth, NASCAR is in some regards still a traveling Southern tent show, a caravan of families who just happen to go very fast. It is nothing if not dynastic: Bill France handing the reins of his empire to Bill France Jr. Lee Petty handing the wheel to his son Richard, who hands it to his boy Kyle, who hands it to his kid Adam--who, tragically, is killed in 2000 at Loudon. Dale Jarrett teaching his son Dale how to drive, as Darrell Waltrip encourages his brother Michael. Bobby Allison teaching Clifford and Davey, then losing both...
