...Swamp at 2 a.m. last June, Christopher Davis was set upon by a 7-ft.-tall scaly lizard with glowing red eyes. As Davis tells it, he jumped into his Toyota just as the creature's claws grabbed the door handle. Swerving left and right, the 17-year-old boy managed to shake the beast off. He shared his story with a few friends in nearby Bishopville. Then last month Mary Way reported that her Ford LTD was scratched and clawed near the swamp. Sheriff's deputies initially tied the two events together -- and Lizard Man was born...
...monster may be the biggest thing to hit Bishopville (pop. 3,500) since Hometown Boy Felix ("Doc") Blanchard left in the 1940s and became an All- American fullback at West Point. Hunters with shotguns combed the swamp, and a local radio station offered a million-dollar reward for the creature's capture.

"It was like a new person, like we're adopting someone because you are taking someone from your family who doesn't live there into your family again. It's a funny feeling. It's nice but it's kinda weird...
...fragments of violence come flashing out of the television set and lodge in minds too young to understand them. In New York City a five-year-old and his friend argue about 1) whether there is a Santa Claus and 2) what Liberace died of. In New Orleans a boy in first grade shaves chalk and passes it around the classroom, pretending it is cocaine...
