<BODY>
KENT, Ohio - Light pierces the bullet hole in the abstract sculpture near Taylor Hall at Kent State University.

<BODY>
Christopher Columbus is one of the mystery men of history. Nobody knows where he first landed or where he's buried. Historians can't even decide what he looked like.

<BODY>
The Declaration of Independence announced America. The Constitution gave it structure. And the Bill of Rights, 200 years old Sunday, gave it life.
A chaotic life it is, with a cacophony of voices, a multitude of people and a sometimes violent landscape in which, some say, the guilty can go free and the innocent can be put to death.
