On Thursday, it will be seven years since Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went on a killing spree at Columbine High School.

Lantern's bestselling book No Easy Answers by Harris and Klebold's erstwhile friend Brooks Brown and journalist Rob Merritt is still in print, and still, we feel, making a difference in the lives of countless kids who have experienced bullying at their high schools and have been victimized by the jock culture that seems to infect American education: something that often leads to some pretty scary alienation.

Seven years on, there are still no easy answers, but Rob and Brooks' book complicates the all-too-facile questions and putative answers to this horrendous crime in useful and challenging ways.
