...achieved mythic status at Italian club Fiorentina in the 1990s before moving to AS Roma two seasons ago. In the modern game, a deadly forward is one who scores once every three games. Batistuta's average for Argentina is better than two in three. With his shoulder-length blond hair and soulful eyes, he looks a likely lead in Jesus Christ Superstar, but he has the instincts of a cold-blooded killer. Bielsa notes that Batistuta is "more comfortable in the last third of the pitch" than his rival, and that's an understatement. There is no cooler head...
...mountains of evidence. We even took birds' nests from scenes hoping we would find a hair from the suspect or a piece of jewelry," says Bruce Kalin, a detective brought in on the case in early 1984. At each dump site, the cops cut away the undergrowth and sifted through the topsoil for several hundred yards in every direction. It took three to four days to process each set of remains. The forest helped turn up evidence for those who knew how to look. The decomposing bodies made the soil more acidic, turning overhanging foliage yellow. The number of layers...
...evidence was all circumstantial, but it was enough for a local judge. In April 1987 the police got a search warrant and went through Ridgway's house looking for anything that would tie him to the murders.

Neither they nor their suspect realized how important that would be 14 years later...
...Scared? was released two years before Toy Story, making it the first fully computer-animated movie on the market. Nineteen VeggieTales videos have followed. Technologically, they are ingenious rather than astounding. One of the reasons Vischer chose vegetables was that they didn't need arms, legs, hair or clothes, making the animation process much simpler. Initially he created a candy bar with eyes, "but my wife walked by and said, 'Moms are going to be mad if you make their kids fall in love with candy bars,'" he says. He moved the eyes to a cucumber and begat Larry...
...Japan's salarymen were once revered as modern-day economic samurai. Today they're like washed-up gunslingers mocked by everyone in the saloon. The jokes at their expense are bad enough: they wear bad suits and smelly socks, their hair is gunky with oil, they behave like drunken buffoons. But cruel jokes are just the start of their torment. The lifetime employment system is over, with unemployment now hitting a 50-year high of 5.3%. And so many middle-aged men have been attacked by teenage boys that police have created a new crime classification: oyaji gari, or geezer...
