...Wyoming, investigators thought they just might have found the poisoner's first victim. Jay Mitchell, 19, of the town of Big Horn, failed to turn off the alarm clock that he had set to buzz at 6:30 a.m. on July 26; his father tried to awaken him, but young Mitchell was dead. Tissues from his body were sent for analysis to a busy laboratory in Utah, which concluded a month later that Mitchell had died of cyanide poisoning.

One farmer in Kentucky is growing plants on flatbeds that he can wheel into the barn at the first buzz of a light plane. Other growers protect their crops with armed guards, attack dogs, pit traps studded with sharpened sticks and trip wires attached to crossbows. Farmers say the measures are taken to foil rustlers more than the police. Still, they present a menace to both. A deputy sheriff...
