...have finally begun to open the doors: Dee Fleming goes inside her daughter Kelly's room with Kelly's friends, listens to stories about her daughter and invites the girls to take home special keepsakes. The Mausers had always slept with their son Daniel's door closed, but since summer they've kept it open. Patricia Depooter takes comfort in going into her son's room, gazing at his clothes and shoes as he left them that April morning, and even taking an occasional whiff of his cologne...
...summer, principal Frank DeAngelis has been listening. He spent July and August serving on two school-safety task forces, reviewing everything from metal detectors to dress codes to having four or five armed officers patrol school grounds. "I'm not sure if that's the answer," says DeAngelis. "I think where money needs to be spent is educating our students about tolerance, about respecting one another, about communication." While Columbine High School did add an additional campus supervisor this year, along with 16 security cameras and a keyless entry system, DeAngelis is most proud of Columbine's efforts at prevention...
Luzhkov, however, has been dogged by a relentless Kremlin smear campaign. Last summer, for instance, rumors circulated that the government was planning to release damning kompromat (compromising materials) about him.

Whenever Gusev, 54, a technical specialist for the Russian intelligence service, fiddled with something in his pocket, the G's state-of-the-art radio-signal detector would come to life, indicating that a faint low-frequency transmission was emanating from a bug somewhere in the gray State offices...
...late summer the G's observed that Gusev's habits had changed. He parked and reparked a Russian-embassy car with diplomatic plates, apparently looking for an optimum position for an antenna concealed, as it turned out, in a Kleenex box on his dashboard. Once satisfied, he got out and appeared to be working a remote-control device hidden in his suit. All this led the FBI to conclude--correctly, as events proved--that he had planted some sort of short-range low-frequency device and was settling down to monitor...
