...Indians had the right idea," says Brenda, a cocktail waitress in Orem. "When a rapist was caught, he got tied down and everyone was invited to throw stones. You better believe the other young bucks got the right idea. Poor Gary-I love him even though he is a murderer. Gary says the only way to atone for the dead is to give your own life. He's prepared...
...heavy on object lessons, especially in matters of boat safety.
