...sense the actors struggling to make this material work. Often they seem to resort to a technique of breathless delivery leading up to a climactic outburst, which is then followed by a quiet philosophical one-liner or two. This boiling-tea-pot method has great effects the first few times--Ray's march on the table, Dora's astonishing tirade on a swing--but can later get almost rhythmically repetitive. When Dora throws a tray to the ground suddenly after a discussion with her daughter, we are no longer shocked--there have been too many outbursts already...
Devastated residents struggled to explain how children so young could commit so horrifying an act. Their area of Richmond, an industrial city outside of Oakland, is poor and tough but not violence-ridden. "It's a predominantly quiet street," Ophelia Stringer told the Mercury News. "It's not all shooting and drugs. It bothers us that all people say we're in gangs and have dysfunctional families. It's not true. We're normal people."

...bombings made peace talks a political liability. Israelis and Syrians alike assumed the talks would begin again after the May 29 election, but the mess in Lebanon has raised doubts on all sides.

JANICE C. SIMPSON, TIME's deputy chief of correspondents, hasn't had a dull moment--or even a quiet one--for weeks. From the death of Ron Brown to the capture of the Unabomber suspect to the plane crash of seven-year-old Jessica Dubroff, breaking news has required Simpson to cue the efforts of correspondents in TIME's 11 U.S. bureaus like a master conductor. Adding to her workload, she has lately been coordinating the reporting for a TIME paperback book based on the magazine's Unabomber cover. The book, Mad Genius, will be in bookstores...
Despite the seven-year difference in their ages, Theodore and David Kaczynski are brothers with a lot in common. Everyone who knows them offers the same descriptions: smart, introspective, quiet. They went to Ivy League schools but didn't use their prestigious degrees to chase the almighty dollar. They both sought solitude in remote parts of the country, where they tried to shed whatever stood between them and the natural world. Both of them appear to have compelling notions about justice. Ted's may have led him to murder. David's led him to turn his brother over...
