A 3 1/2 year investigation into the kidnapping and murder of the American journalist shows that 27 men were involved in the crime-and 14 of them remain free on the streets of Pakistan.
Almost nine years ago, on January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped off the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, brutally killed a week or so later, beheaded, and chopped into 12 pieces. In July 2002, four men were convicted of Pearl's murder, including mastermind Omar Sheikh and three men involved in sending out ransom notes to the world. Pakistan closed the case. The U.S. let the case go dormant, with one FBI agent told by his boss, "Let sleeping dogs lie."

Among the lesser-known jobs in show business is that of the audition reader: an actor invited to attend casting sessions and read opposite those who are auditioning, so the casting person can focus on watching. Not all casting directors use readers. Many have assistants read the other roles, or they do it themselves. But if you've encountered the CDs that use readers, you've probably noticed the huge advantage of being able to audition opposite a real actor.Readers enjoy a rare perspective. They spend the day observing auditions—something few of us get to do. This opportunity to sit on the other side of the table, watching actor after actor read for the same roles, offers insight into the process. So who are these people? And what has their experience taught them that the rest of us don't know? The readers we spoke with all emphasized the highly educational nature of the job.
