CONDOMS AND limousines. Limos and condoms. It seems an odd combination for discussion. But these two things stand as symbols -- evidence, really -- of the helplessness and ambivalence of parents of teen-agers. Condoms and limousines represent our desire to protect our children from harm, but also our inability to prevent them from engaging in harmful behavior. Limos and condoms are props in the twilight zone of parenting: between caution and control; between hope and reality. We rent limos to carry our kids to dances because we are afraid they will drink, and if they do, at least they won't be driving.

ATLANTA - Jurors in the Ray Lewis murder trial heard yesterday about the football player's evasive interview with police, in which he denied knowing anything about the killing of two men hours earlier and confided, "I was just with the wrong people." Prosecutors say the encounter, including Lewis' refusal to name fellow passengers in the limousine he had rented, proves Lewis was covering up a crime. Defense lawyers had tried repeatedly to keep Lewis' interview out of the trial. The remark that seemed to cast aspersions on Lewis' co-defendants was immediately challenged by their attorneys.

ATLANTA - A woman who was with Ray Lewis on the night two men were stabbed to death in a street brawl testified yesterday that she saw the Ravens linebacker shoving a man during the fight but said he appeared to be protecting a friend. Evelyn Sparks, a 24-year-old physical therapy student from Chicago, proved a mixed bag for prosecutors. She bolstered the defense when she described Lewis co-defendant Joseph Sweeting being attacked by two men and then Lewis pushing one of the attackers away.

A friend of the men murdered after a Super Bowl party in Atlanta has told police he fired a gun at Ray Lewis' vehicle as it sped from the scene. Solving a mystery that has lingered since the Jan. 31 double stabbing in Atlanta, the Decatur, Ga., man told police a few weeks ago that he fired the bullets found in the side of Lewis' rented limousine, according to sources familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The identity of Marlin Burros, 33, was disclosed for the first time to the defense teams in an exchange of evidence this week, sources said.
