...most terrifying murder rampages in the country's history, one that had led the White House to contemplate opening up military bases so children could go trick-or-treating in safety and that had induced otherwise rational residents to scurry in a zigzag formation across bland suburban parking lots. In three weeks, the case elicited 138,000 tip-line calls, seven times the number the Unabomber case yielded over 18 years. The 14 shots took 10 lives, though the tally may still not be complete.

Byng's well-to-do family helped him come up with the cash - including step-father Christopher Bland, chairman of British Telecom. Byng, who began his career in 1992 as an unpaid intern at Canongate, was making $12,000 a year doing publicity for the company when he became managing director. The predictable hand wringing about a fun-loving rich kid taking over an august firm ensued. Byng...
