Just as the rise of kidnaping skips mysteriously from nation to nation, the crime has changed in style over the years. The most celebrated kidnaping of the century involved a 20-month-old child, the son of Charles Lindbergh, who was killed by Bruno Hauptmann in 1932. The same fate awaited Bobby Greenlease, 6, in a notable tragedy of the 1950s. The theory was that kidnapers took small children so that they would not be identified, then killed them in fear.

...Bruno Sammartino flattening Pedro Morales with a flying elbow. The Mighty Zulu punishing Man Mountain Mike with a bone-crunching knuckle headlock. Mention wrestling, and that is what comes to mind for most Americans. Not for the citizens of Stillwater, Okla. For them, wrestling offers far, far more than the dubious diversion of watching overweight meatballs belting each other in mock mortal combat. Reason: Stillwater is the home of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the most successful team in college wrestling...
