Smith dropped out of high school twice and then joined the Marines; when his hitch was up, he returned to drift from job to job in northern New Jersey. When the body of a 15-year-old high school student named Victoria Zielinski, from Ramsey, was found partially clothed, her head crushed, Smith was brought in for questioning. After a day of intensive interrogation-without legal counsel-he gave police an oral statement that the Bergen County prosecutor's office claimed was an unsigned confession. Smith disavowed it during his trial, but he was convicted after less than...
...weeks ago, Tito warned his countrymen that foreign agents (meaning primarily Soviet secret police) had been exerting "unbelievable pressure" on the government. "We should allow no sixth column to penetrate our country," he said. It is possible, of course, that he had chosen to fight the drift toward separatism by raising the specter of Soviet troublemaking.

Two friends of his eventually enter the claustrophobic scene: Sonny, quiet and morose, and Angel, who talks a political line. Casually and inevitably they all take heroin. Returning to the ghetto, they realize anew they have...
