...Klebolds, Kate Battan and her sergeant, Randy West, were convinced after their interviews that the parents were fooled liked everyone else. "They were not absentee parents. They're normal people who seem to care for their children and were involved in their life," says Battan. They too have suffered a terrible loss, both of a child and of their trust in their instincts. On what would have been Klebold's 18th birthday recently, Susan Klebold baked him a cake. "They don't have victims' advocates to help them through this," Battan says. They do, however, have a band of devoted...
...eight months ago, Darrell, 50, has left his job as a sales manager for a food company, and now lives on the road, speaking at churches, stadiums and high school gyms from Dallas to Bismarck. He takes Dramamine for motion sickness and eats in Cracker Barrel restaurants. It might seem like a dreary existence, reliving your daughter's death over and over.

Benjamin Cotham's paintings of faces, overglazed many times over by layers of semi-transparent black paint, demonstrate the pay-off of this awareness. His invention of a new way to treat paint allows him to make terrifically eerie pieces; as with a hologram, the image is only visible from certain angles...
...they reveal the talents of Hur and Kim. The loss of Karen's mother, the collapse and death of Bibi's father, and of course the Massacre itself are such powerful moments that very real emotion travels between Bibi and Karen and reverberates through the audience. Bibi and Karen seem to be connected through their experiences. Throughout their friendship, they learn that they have much in common, and although the premise is that they are never reunited after their first encounter, they often speak directly and even touch across the geographic and political divide, which thus becomes an imaginary barrier...
