...shabbily dressed invaders were not the young rock freaks who had recently occupied the house next door on Arrowhead Drive in Collinsville, Ill., a blue-collar suburb of St. Louis.

As the Giglottos tell it, the raiders two weeks ago ransacked the house and loosed a fusillade of obscenities that they threatened to follow with bullets. They forced the couple to lie on the bed face down and handcuffed them. The leader of the group held a cocked revolver...

...machine is not infallible. Results of lie-detector tests normally are not admitted as evidence in court cases because they are not considered reliable enough. A coolly determined person can sometimes hoodwink the machine, as TIME Reporter-Researcher Eileen Shields did in a polygraph test at Dale System headquarters. By trying to remain calm and control her physical responses, she successfully convinced her questioner that she was 26 years old instead of her correct age, 29. "I tried to think of no as a meaningless word, just as easy to say as yes," she recalls. The operator eventually determined that...
