NEWS & FEATURES

Wrongfully convicted of one of the most notorious murders in Boston's history, former drug dealer Shawn Drumgold thought he'd spend the rest of his life in prison. After 15 years behind bars, he has emerged into a very different world. Where does he go from here? Chris Wright finds out.

Only time will tell how, or if, Saddam Hussein's capture will affect the Iraqi insurgency. Meanwhile, finds Dan Kennedy, the nine Democratic presidential hopefuls must figure out how to challenge a triumphant Bush in 2004 without appearing to wish for hard times.

Peter Kadzis offers thoughts on the dictator's capture and the present danger of terrorism.

It looks like Wesley Clark is vaulting into the number-two spot by attracting more and more voters - both centrists and traditional liberals, Adam Reilly reports. Can the candidate bind the two wings of his party together and make a machine that can really fly?

In the Phoenix editorial: We're all pleased about the capture of Saddam Hussein, but what about the real threat - Osama bin Laden?

Back in the day, the poet Robert Lowell held the most popular office hours in all of Cambridge. Lloyd Schwartz looks back.

In "Out There," Alan Olifson sings the foreskin follies.

In "Urban Buy," Brian E. O'Neill helps you deck your halls.
