Blue lines: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by the police who investigate the crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. This is your chance to decorate them with your pencil-crayons. The Law & Order Coloring Book lets you colour in crusty detective Lennie Briscoe, tough-talking Lt. Anita Van Buren and moralizing DA Jack McCoy. Print out the pages and teach cruel life lessons about justice to young kids at www.brandonbird.com/lno_color.html.

Pinball wizard: The Stern company has been making pinball machines in Illinois since before you were around, sonny, and they still do today. Creators of the Addams Family machine, the all-time most popular pinball, and too many other classics to name, Stern is the biggest baller in its field. You can download images of the backglass (the decorated panel that shows your score) from many Stern creations at www.sternpinball.com.
