...There was some relief at Columbine when authorities quickly arrested Michael Ian Campbell, 18, of Cape Coral, Fla., and charged him with sending the Internet threat. But DeAngelis also knows that April 20, 2000, is just around the corner. He is already working with a planning committee to make sure the anniversary is a memorial, not a flashback...
Minghella's Ripley is different, less sure of himself, more human, and thus reduced in stature. He lies to Dickie's father when he says he went to Princeton with the boy.

Avoid taking other pain relievers, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, that will irritate the stomach lining even more, or at the very least, make sure they're buffered...
