...sure, the report is an exhaustive affair, a CD-ROM that includes photographs, sound recordings and video from surveillance cameras. It's a complete reconstruction of Harris and Klebold's movements, from their guns-blazing entrance through the school's west entrance (11:19) to the moment the two teenage killers turned their weapons on themselves in the blood-soaked library (12:08). But the report doesn't answer the questions victims' families have about the killing spree, namely: What took SWAT teams more than 45 minutes - almost the entire length of the rampage - to get inside the school...
...victims, families and friends of those affected by last year's massacre at Columbine High School were bound to be disappointed by Monday's dissection on the tragedy. After all, no law enforcement report was likely to get into the minds of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. But the fact that the first detailed account of the massacre last April 20 fails to address other "whys" - why law enforcement took so long to act, why it took so long to get to some of the wounded - is bound to increase efforts to find resolution through the courts...

Notwithstanding the end result of the Vietnam conflict, the U.S. troops' clear domination of nearly every fire fight makes it hard to consider this a military humiliation. Vietnam was a political and domestic failure. The true humiliation? Well, that...
...YOUR LIFE We've all heard the bizarre reports of super-fit athletes suddenly dying during a competition. The culprit may not be a sudden heart attack after all. Doctors report at least six cases of marathon runners collapsing--and one dying--because of fluid accumulated in the lungs and brain, a syndrome known as hyponatremic encephalopathy. The problem, which may be linked to drinking too much water, is easily treatable as long as it is quickly diagnosed...
