...around the prison, 20 miles south of Salt Lake City, security was tight. Religious groups announced plans to hold a vigil outside the prison, and the war den was worried about the possibility that demonstrators might try to storm the prison in order to stop the execution. Several helicopters were reserved by reporters and cameramen, but the Federal Aviation Administration banned all aircraft from the area. The execution site is a closely guarded secret. Even the five-man firing squad will not know the location until shortly before the event. Afterward, according to the plan, a hearse will transport Gilmore...
...upshot of it all? Well, look for some hot dots--featuring some of the above groups, and more, at Murdoch's Den here in Cambridge, at Rupert's Pier and the Murdoch Garden in Boston, and at Murdoch Stadium in Foxboro throughout the month of February.

He would study further the profiles that Mondale and Jordan had ordered up and continue his own interviews. But he would do it alone. It always came to that: the choices were his. And Carter clearly relished his isolation. Even his secretary was located ten miles away in Americus.
