...dragged through the streets of Mogadishu. Last Friday afternoon, in the Piazza Alimonda in Genoa, Italy, a photographer caught a young man getting ready to hurl a fire extinguisher at a police Land Rover trapped against a wall. Inside the van, a police officer can be seen aiming a pistol at the demonstrator. One, possibly two shots were fired; Carlo Giuliani, 23, the son of a labor union official from Rome, fell, bleeding through his ski mask from a wound to the head. The van ran him over as it backed away, and Giuliani died...
...Arms and the evil Skeletor ($10-$25 each)--has all but disappeared from the shelves of J.C. Penney and Toys "R" Us since Mattel re-released them. Demand in the U.S. for replicas of Transformers, among them the upstart Hot Rod ($45) and the diabolical pistol Megatron ($90-$110), has prompted importers to buy them off the shelves in Honshu and sell them to retail stores in U.S. malls.

Her style was a wonderful collision of opposites: preppy pigtail and glasses with pistol-packing twin thigh holsters. Male video gamers were hooked. And for the first time, so were their wives and girlfriends. "I think [Croft] is a new definition of celebrity," says Tomb Raider producer Lloyd Levin. "Christina and Britney have massive popularity, but they are vacuous, so absolutely vacuous. A lot of females...
...just minutes after emerging from a Lenten Mass Wednesday morning honoring the San Diego school-shooting victims, Bush walked into the cafeteria armed with a .22-cal. pistol, one of the 12 guns her father owned, and shot classmate Kimberly Marchese in the shoulder. Bush then placed the gun barrel against her own temple and announced that she wanted to kill herself. School staff and another student talked Bush out of pulling the trigger, and Marchese spent just one evening in the hospital. But if the outcome was far less bloody than what had taken place two days earlier...
