...series Party of Five, her character Julia is beset by such problems as a brother who may be dying and an adulterous husband, but she's always glowingly empathetic, never simply tragic. In the teen-horror flicks Scream and Scream 2, despite being pursued by psychos and serial killers, she exudes likability and warmth. And in her newest film, the sweaty, hormonal romp Wild Things, Campbell glistens with sincerity, even as her character is swept up in an unlikely swirl of perjury, murder and three-way sex.

Kaczynski's brother David, who turned him in, claims that the government should have fully investigated his mental state, including interviewing the family, before deciding on the death penalty. The Justice official insisted that the defendant's mental state was considered but added, "Any serial killer is nuts. Does that mean they should all be spared the death penalty?" Prosecutors say Kaczynski has continually refused to be examined by their psychiatrists--and that such behavior is typical not so much of paranoid schizophrenics but of malingerers...
