...imaginary listener outside the courtroom and then to the judge. Speiser has gleaned and woven together from Bruce's last performances an account in Bruce's own words of his 19 busts.

Unfortunately, O'Malley's performance...
Christine Johnson got out just in time. The lick of flame was creating an inferno. Dark brown smoke shrouded the structure, then rose high enough to hide a police helicopter hovering over the scene. Sheets of ash the size of magazine pages rose gracefully into the air and floated to earth a half block away...
