...Dylan can do this, who isn't capable of it?" asks Brooks Brown's father Randy, a longtime friend of Tom and Sue Klebold. "At some point Dylan cracked, and no one knew. His mom is rippin' herself up, trying to find out why. But Dylan's gone and there is no why." Klebold can't explain what came over him, but Brooks and some others can try. "Dylan was a follower, but he wouldn't follow just anyone," says Brooks. "He was as much of an individual as a follower...
...renewed push for gun control a typical "knee-jerk reaction" to the shootings and staved off for at least two weeks an effort to have a vote, in the hope that emotions will cool. The House, heavily mortgaged to the gun lobby, has scheduled no bills.

Single dad Tom Horan, an admitted computer illiterate, takes a passive role, hoping his sons will outgrow their obsession. A lobbyist and lawyer, Tom only occasionally wanders in to see what they're up to. "I'd rather have them and their friends playing video games here than be out roaming the streets," he says. Although Peter...
Friel's role as Closer's Alice, a raw-nerved waif with an irreparably scarred heart, has easily made her one of the most talked-about actresses in Manhattan. Among those who've visited her backstage are Steven Spielberg and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cruise, who brought flowers ("to be that famous--and so nice," she remarks). Friel's stellar reviews include one from the New Yorker where she was described as the "powerhouse" of the play's cast and "a ravishing newcomer whose authenticity makes it impossible to take your eyes off her." Next week Friel will make...
