...reminiscent of Springfield, Ore., where a physically fragile 15-year-old named Kip Kinkel last May allegedly opened up on classmates a day after calmly murdering his parents in their home. Or West Paducah, Ky., where Michael Carneal began shooting in a crowded school hallway, killing three and wounding five others before an extraordinarily calm student walked up and told him to stop. Or the most incongruous of all, Mitchell Johnson and Drew Golden, 13 and 11 years old, baby fat still pinching at the collars of their school clothes as they laid down an exceptionally accurate line of fire...
DIED. FRANK CORDEIRO JR., 73, war photographer; in Trail, Ore. One of Cordeiro's most moving shots--a U.S. ship exploding into a ball of flames in Pearl Harbor on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941--won Cordeiro worldwide recognition...

In that period greater Portland, Ore., spread just 13%, the same growth rate as its population, now 1.7 million. For a long time Portland has been the laboratory city for smart growth. In 1979, as part of its compliance with a groundbreaking statewide land-use law, Portland imposed a "growth boundary," a ring enclosing the city proper and 23 surrounding towns...
