...ideal not only because of its destructive potential but also for its relative safety. So stable that it cannot explode spontaneously, ANFO is considerably safer than dynamite, which contains volatile nitroglycerin. You can light a match to ANFO, jump up and down on it, even shoot a bullet at it, but it isn't likely to blow up. To unleash the power of ANFO, demolition workers must use a device called a detonator-which contains a small amount of a highly explosive material-and a powerful booster charge that will create enough of a shock wave...
...Infiltrating the same organization that masterminded the stolen car operation, Kilmartin befriends the boss, Little Junior (Cage). As an insane mobster, Cage gives the performance of his life. The cop assigned to oversee Kimartin's undercover work in the mob, Calvin (Jackson), is the same one who caught a bullet under the eye when Kilmartin was arrested.

Long after the funerals are over and the physical injuries have healed, those touched by such crimes are likely to face deep psychological traumas--recurring images of the attack, anger, sleeplessness...
...front of a clinic, as saying, "Why would a person do it publicly, when maybe he could have done it clandestinely, with a high-powered rifle ...'' Nine days later, Dr. Gary Romalis was gravely wounded as he sat at his breakfast table in Vancouver, British Columbia. The rifle bullet had come through the window; the sniper was never caught. The question now is whether this attack-rather than Salvi's alleged rampage seven weeks later-represents the cutting edge of antiabortion extremism, and whether the reign of terror can be stopped before more people are injured or killed...
