...Lopez, "Jennifer was leaving the club when the shots were fired. She hit the floor and then got up and exited as fast as possible." After Combs came out, the couple got into the rear seat of a 1999 Lincoln Navigator owned by his record company, which sped away past a police cruiser with flashing lights and through several red lights. When police stopped the car they reportedly found a 9-mm semiautomatic pistol on the floor of the front seat. They arrested Combs, his bodyguard, his driver and Lopez...
...Phillips Collection was the first U.S. museum to be devoted to Modern art (eight years before Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art opened its doors) and the first to take serious account of Modern American art (nine years before the Whitney Museum of American Art was founded).

Through Jan. 23, the whole winding building is filled with "Renoir to Rothko: The Eye of Duncan Phillips," the chronological story...
Phillips' thinking about art, his impulse to collect it and set it in order, was sponsored by two main beliefs. The first is that art is continuous.

As a senior in high school, I have watched for the past 3 1/2 years as the wrath of social pressure has destroyed the self-confidence and self-worth of dozens of friends and classmates. It's sad that name callers believe their comments are harmless. Everyone has self-esteem, whether they carry a gun or not. JESSICA TSAY, age 16 Brookline...
...portrait you gave us of republican presidential candidate John McCain is of a man fully alive [CAMPAIGN 2000, Dec. 13]. His heroic military past is astonishing. McCain is at times a statesman and crusader and at others a family man, raconteur or stand-up comic. His mixture of humanity, honor and humor is unique to the present political scene. He wins you over with his personality and his message. OLIVER HARPER Phoenix, Ariz...
