...spite of their shatterproof belief that Rachel did not die in vain, the last eight months have been difficult for the Scott family. Craig Scott, Rachel's 16-year-old brother, who was kneeling next to Isaiah Shoels and Matt Kechter when they were shot to death in the library, has had the hardest time. Though he has on occasion spoken to groups with Darrell, he refuses to return to Columbine High and is being schooled by a county home-tutoring program. "Some days he can't get out of bed," says his mother Beth...
...traditional weekend walkabouts through Moscow building sites awash in wet snow and mud, he tried his best to look the jaunty, workaholic city boss of old. But when the journalists cornered him, the mayor admitted that his mind was elsewhere. He was waiting for the next body blow from the Kremlin...
...Russia, the main opposition group running in Russia's Dec. 19 parliamentary elections. And the fight between the Kremlin and Fatherland is less for the Duma, or lower house of Parliament, than for position in the June 2000 presidential elections.

The extreme nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, these days a faithful supporter of the government, is involved in one of his usual publicity-seeking fights, threatening to challenge the election results after losing a dispute with the central election commission. A new bloc trying to make its mark, the Union of Right...
...have to jump and plenty of chances to get ripped off along the way. First of all, the standard for this medium is a superfast cable called FireWire (geeks know it as IEEE 1394, and Sony folks call it i.Link). Any DV camcorder you unwrap under the tree next week should feature a FireWire output, and any PC you want to use has to include a FireWire input. Most don't, of course, and you'll probably have to upgrade (see box). A major word of warning: FireWire does not work with Windows 95. You could make life...
