How the Angels of the Internet went to meet their comet
Article Abstract:
Members of the Higher Source, a very successful Internet business, have been involved in a mass suicide on the outskirts of San Diego, CA. The bodies of 39 men and women have been recovered from an expensive villa from which the business, which designed web pages for businesses in California, was run. Local people report that they had little contact with Higher Source members, who referred to each other as brother and sister and strove to lead a monastic-style life.

There is particular interest in the activities of Marion 'Suge' Knight, a controversial figure who owns Death Row Records. The company is now under investigation by the FBI for money laundering, drug trafficking and gang connections.

After OJ: the forgotten victims
Article Abstract:
The family of Ronald Goldman still believe that he was murdered by O.J. Simpson, even though Simpson has been found not guilty. They are now considering whether and how to go ahead with taking civil action against Simpson. They believe that a miscarriage of justice took place at Simpson's trial, but pursuing the matter further would inevitably create greater racial divisions in American society.
