...mostly young men, some in uniform. One gets in, followed by a woman, running--she's just jumped out of another car and into ours. Her name is Maela and, like the vast majority of Cuban women, Maela is a devout spandex enthusiast. She's in a black-and-white bodysuit, bisected with belt, and she's laughing like mad at her car-to-car coup, the soldiers tossing her a wide variety of obscene gestures as we drive away. The soldier we've got is named Jordan; he's doing the mandatory military service--two years--and is heading...
...drop off Maela; she giggles thanks, and in comes Belgis, about 40, pregnant, in a white frilly blouse and floral spandex leggings. She was waiting for three hours.

But Kennedy's attorney, James Exum, tells TIME that throughout the attack, Carruth was driving his white Ford Expedition directly in front of Adams' car while talking by cell phone to Watkins, whom Kennedy has named as the gunman. And a homeowner in the neighborhood where the wounded woman stopped her car says he overheard Adams telling the police that her "boyfriend" had shot her. "Her composure and ability to talk with us were...
...appoint at least one new African American to its board of directors by Sept. 1, 2000. Some of the goals are vague and difficult to enforce, like a provision that the networks "cease any practice of ghettoizing 'black shows' whereby they are scheduled together on nights without white programming." That flies in the face of longtime programming principles of "audience flow"--scheduling shows that appeal to similar audiences together. Nor can the agreement force the networks to keep low-rated shows on the air or force advertisers to pay high rates for commercial time on them. While studies show that...
