Not only did dotcom whippersnappers get spanked by the NASDAQ, but TV's youthquake--when networks unleashed a hot-bodied army of Dawson's Creek clones to capture young audiences--triggered an avalanche of zit fatigue. The teen cop (Ryan Caulfield), the earnest young politicos (D.C.), the sexy prepsters (the never-aired Manchester Prep)--all were dead on arrival, while older-skewing dramas thrived...

The Boulder detectives then planted a hidden microphone and camera a few feet from JonBenet's resting place. For three days, they mounted round-the-clock surveillance from the window of a nearby high school, hoping to overhear a graveside confession from...
...speech he delivered in Cambridge, Md., exhorting a crowd of angry young blacks: "If America don't come around, we're gonna burn America down!" His fiery rhetoric notwithstanding, he was less responsible for the arson and sniping that erupted later that night than was the jittery white cop who angered the crowd by firing a shotgun, slightly wounding Rap in the forehead...
