A group of about one hundred enraged teeny-boppers stoned the police headquarters in nearby Falls Church, a pretty upper middle-class city about ten miles from the District of Columbia border, in mid-August.

The result, called Run, Angel, Run, is, however, something more than fodder for the teeny-bopper drive-in trade.

The attacks take place on a pool table...
