...pretty irony about the Reading incident is that it began as a pacifist plea. On July 5, 2000, Junta--whose stature (6 ft. 1 in.), girth (270 lbs.) and receding hairline ensure that James Gandolfini will play him in the inevitable TV movie--was watching an informal practice involving his son at the Burbank Ice Arena.

...wasn't exactly by the book, but Zacarias Moussaoui, the first person charged in the September 11th terror attacks, entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment Wednesday morning. The man alleged by federal authorities to be the "20th hijacker" stood before Judge Leonie Brinkema in a federal courtroom just miles from the site of the Pentagon attack, and told the court, "In the name of Allah I do not have anything to plea. I enter no plea." So Brinkema entered a not guilty plea for Moussaoui...
