...stack became a heap, then a small mountain. By Thursday night, the 4-ft. mound of tributes to the fire fighters of Engine 54/Ladder 4 in New York City's Hell's Kitchen--food donations, flowers, cards, American flags and photos of the station's fire fighters missing at the World Trade Center site--had grown so big that a second pile of flowers had to be started alongside the entrance. Captain Richard Parenty found the tributes so gratifying they were almost painful: "It's so good to feel appreciated, and it's draining. Even the outpouring of support...

Eddie-Callagain and two Japanese lawyers represent Woodland, who has pleaded not guilty and argues that the sex was consensual. Eddie-Callagain admits the politically charged atmosphere and the Japanese judicial system stack the odds against her client. "Here you're guilty until proved innocent," says Eddie-Callagain, who returned to Okinawa in 1995 to set up an independent practice after leaving the Air Force. "In Japan the criminal-justice system is run by prosecutors," she says. "Defense lawyers are just bystanders...
