...years ago, Public School 190 in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City found itself in a quandary. "The school was small, the parent body was ambitious, and we didn't have any money," recalls Debrah Pearson Feinn, whose daughter Lily was a second-grader at the time. The arts budget had been cut, and in this neighborhood, thick with artists, a school without art was hardly a school at all. Brainstorming at a back-to-school party, parents came up with the solution: since the area was gaining a reputation not only as an artists' colony but also...

Around the country the news spread and the vigil commenced. President Clinton was kept informed of the search's progress and began calling family members. Neighbors began leaving candles and flowers outside the TriBeCa building where John and Carolyn lived. The crowd at Yankee Stadium, where John had spent Thursday evening, had a moment of silence before the game.
