Ennis Cosby wasn't just shot. His corpse, with a bullet wound in the left temple, was found face up with a split but virtually unswollen lip. That injury is telling: trauma inflicted after the heart has stopped will not cause the swelling and discoloration usually associated with blows to living flesh. The most logical conclusion, sources close to the prosecution tell TIME, is that whoever shot Bill Cosby's only son also kicked or hit the young man in the mouth. And whoever committed the crime may have done so after being offered a courtesy. Police crime-scene photos...
...National Front party's surprising 15 percent returns in last Sunday's first round of elections, fiery right-winger Jean-Marie Le Pen found himself instead in a slugfest with some 30 hecklers in the crime-plagued Paris suburb of Mantes-La-Jolie. In the tumult, Le Pen wound up striking one youth who had shoved him and lunging after others in the jeering, egg-hurling crowd. One man who may wish he had been there, sticks and stones in hand, is endangered president Jacques Chirac. With its blame-the-immigrants economics, the Front has all but cornered France...
...returned from a business trip to find Miglin missing from their three-story brick row house in Chicago's Gold Coast district. Police searched the couple's garage across an alleyway, and found a grisly scene.

...decade, arrogantly convinced that Jonathan Swift's 18th century political satire Gulliver's Travels was just waiting to be made into a mini-series starring Ted Danson, Halmi tirelessly pitched the idea to skeptical network executives until NBC succumbed two years ago. Improbably enough, Gulliver drew critical raves and wound up as last season's highest-rated mini-series. Motivated by that triumph, Halmi, whose curriculum vitae is not entirely without a smattering of titles like Ivana Trump's For Love Alone, has now made it a mission to devote himself almost exclusively to reinterpreting the classics for television...
RUBY RIDGE The year before Freeh arrived, tax resisters in Idaho wound up in a standoff against federal agents. Vicki Weaver and her teenage son were shot to death; her husband Randy Weaver collected $3 million in a wrongful-death suit and became a martyr in the militants' crusade against encroaching law-enforcement agencies. Six officials connected with the showdown were disciplined for "inadequate performance, improper judgment, neglect of duty," even though investigators found no actual misconduct. That might not have gone down so badly had Freeh not promoted as his No. 2 the supervisor of the whole operation, Larry...
