Baltimore homicide detectives Kevin Hagan and Sean Jones knew they were in trouble when they examined the body lying face down in a trash bin behind a candy factory. After digging through the sugary garbage and combing the factory's grounds, Hagan and Jones had only one clue to guide them: a grainy videotape image from a security camera mounted on a nearby building. "This was not like a regular city crime scene, where you get a call for discharging [a gun] and find a body laying there," Hagan said in an interview.

Ah, well, former Winston Cup champions can't be right all the time.Terry Labonte, who won the national title in 1984, thought he had taken a "realistic step" toward the future last season, when he started his own team.

THIS PEOPLE'S NAVY: THE MAKING OF AMERICAN SEA POWER.Kenneth J. Hagan.Free Press.434 pages. $27.95."Naval power . . . is the natural defense of the United States." So said John Adams, who most deserves to be called the "father of the American Navy." In the more than two centuries since his day, the U.S. Navy not only has been America's first line of defense but has played a leading role in projecting U.S. power abroad, as in the current war in the Persian Gulf.Writing with verve and authority, Kenneth J. Hagan, a reserve captain in the Navy, professor of history at the Naval Academy and Director of the Naval Academy Museum, tells the story of this fighting force from the ragtag Continental Navy of the American Revolution to the giant aircraft carriers and ballistics missile submarines of today.
