...noticeably drawn. But she did not look or act like a victim who had been forced by her abductors to rob a bank and denounce her grieving parents and her fiance as "pigs" and "clowns." She was as casual as if she had dropped by to answer a traffic summons. She was wearing stained rubber clogs and dark brown cotton pants, and beneath her striped, long-sleeved jersey she was braless... Next, Patty's friends Bill and Emily Harris went before [Judge] Woodruff. As Harris entered the courtroom, he scanned the expectant audience and cried out, "What...

...also heavily promoted online buying with in-store pickup, and the effort paid off, says marketing boss Judge. More people took advantage of the option in the final week before Christmas, Judge notes, "which allowed us to keep selling as other online orders started to drop off." Holiday traffic to BestBuy.com jumped 30% from the previous year (to more than 1 million visitors a day), and total online sales more than doubled, Judge says.

Bratt has had four seasons on TV's Law & Order, an impressive turn as a drug kingpin in Traffic and has been game to support Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality) and Madonna (The Next Best Thing). But virtually no one realized he had this kind of performance in him. "For the last couple of months, I've been getting a lot of backhanded compliments, but it still feels good," says...

Later this year Bratt will star in Abandon, written and directed by Traffic screenwriter Stephen Gaghan. Otherwise, his post-Julia life has become less public. He lives in San Francisco near his family and now has a relatively low-key romance with his Pinero co-star, Talisa Soto. "I have no particular career agenda," he says.
