...many have seen by first-hand experience. Jennifer Rea, 15, allegedly shot to death her two younger sisters one afternoon last March with a .22-cal. pistol. Carlos Fisher, 16, put a .38-cal. pistol to his head in May while playing with some friends at his house and pulled the trigger, killing himself. Police believe he either was playing Russian roulette or assumed the gun was unloaded. Travis Hogue, 18, is accused of shooting and killing Nikki Chambers, 19, a male rival, in the rest room of a McDonald's in April with four shots from...
...helps that Sean Connery, as a Japanophile detective who yet retains a few interesting Japanophobic tics, is the chief explainer. It also helps that lively Wesley Snipes is the younger man he's mentoring through this exercise. But it would be nice to see Connery doing something intrinsically interesting instead of trying to make something inherently dull entertaining. And it would be good to see Snipes cut loose more than he is able to here. But that's the way things go in this cautious adaptation of a "controversial" book.

...tolerance. "The persons I find beautiful," he wrote in a catalog preface, "are not those who are usually found beautiful . . . Funny noses, big mouths, teeth all crooked, hair in the ears -- I'm not at all against such things. Older people don't necessarily appear worse to me than younger ones."

Maria Gallardo believes the scales have been tipped enough against her younger brother. Beyond maintaining that he was "railroaded" into his 1991 guilty plea, she says of his violent drawings and writings, "He's plagued by nightmares. I was too, for a long time. He would write down the dream and how he felt during it, to see where this madness was coming from." It was self- therapy, she says; only the police "took it upon themselves to believe that they were things he wanted to do, or had done and just hadn't been caught." In that way, "they...
Meanwhile in Detroit, business correspondent William McWhirter was covering the financial aspect of the flood -- and he was also thinking back to his younger days in Kansas City, Missouri, hit hard by the great 1951 floods. Correspondent Taylor was collecting some new memories of the flood of 1993. "There was an eerie normality to life in Des Moines," she says. "With Guardsmen patrolling the empty streets, humidity oppressive and helicopters circling in the sky, it seemed like a M*A*S*H episode." TIME's photographers -- Steve Liss, Ron Haviv, Najlah Feanny and Fritz Hoffmann -- were scouring the area...
