...just so much to do and watch for." It was a large office/sanctum on the second floor of 395 Concord Avenue, carpeted, bookshelved, same fake wood paneling as everything else, spattered with flag plaques and Statue of Liberty trophies, with typewriters pittering in the outer offices, and a casual hum of secretaries.

Those who knew Karen in the last few months of her active life paint a different picture. Shortly after losing her job, she moved out of her parents' home and into a world of casual employment and even more casual friendships. For a while, she shared a house on a lake with two young men; somewhere along the line, she began experimenting with drugs. Several friends describe her as an occasional marijuana user and frequent pill-popper, who took "uppers" and "downers" to suit her moods...
