...Deanna Wolfe, 47, lives alone in a cabin up on Zebulon Mountain performing a "hybrid job" for the National Park Service and the Forest Service. The appearance of a handsome drifter named Eddie Bondo unsettles her sexually - "A pulse of electricity ran up the insides of her thighs like lightning ripping up two trees at once, leaving her to smolder or maybe burst into flames" - and disturbs her in another way. She has discovered a nest of coyotes on the mountain, the first sighting in the region in decades, and Bondo, who grew up on a sheep ranch in Wyoming...
Detectives from the Cambridge Police Department (CPD) arrested Bargeil, 25, a self-described "drifter," early Monday morning in connection with an assault on Sept. 19 that police said they believe was a hate crime...

On Aug. 26 two bodies were found in different parts of town: Heather Hernandez, 20, a drifter, and Jennifer Joseph, 16, a runaway, last seen in the passenger seat of a white Corvette speeding down East Sprague.

Dylan Klebold went to the prom (and Eric Harris wanted to) before shooting up Columbine High in April. Predators with such little regard for morality and human life defy rational explanation, right...
...less surly than usual, but mostly this Broadway revival gets into the right spirit. The set, a swath of brown prairie dominated by an expanse of blue sky, seems ready at any moment to disgorge the cast of Oklahoma!, and the story of a smooth-talking drifter named Starbuck who comes to a drought-plagued Western community and promises to bring rain is full of corn-fed blather about the importance of dreams. "You don't believe in nothin'--not even yourself," Starbuck tells Lizzie, the plain farm woman whose brothers and father are desperately trying to marry...
