Diana got out her father's old rifle, bought a box of .22 short shells at the Seven-Eleven Store around the corner, methodically test-fired it into her mattress. Then she went to her father's den, turned on the big console television and waited, cool enough, while she thought over her plans to dispatch other members of the family as, each on tedious schedule, they came home from school or work. ABC's American Bandstand, the 4 p.m. teen-age dance show, had been on a couple of minutes when Diana's sandy-haired...

The tip built up in front of the girlie shows (one Negro, one white), and their talker began his pitch: "This, folks, is Jody, who taught those Frenchmen in Paris something about the great American art of the striptease."
