Her clear fingernails move slowly, like gears, on the black steering wheel. She watches you, expressionless, for a long second, then deliberately opens her mouth and circles her lips with the wet tip of her tongue.

But the dull blue eyes of their wayward son, pasted like wafers on his expressionless face, avoided the gaze of those in the courtroom through the very end. What emotions swirled in his twisted psyche-a mystery that neither psychiatrists nor jury felt they could fathom-were kept inside. John Hinckley had got off-and raised a nationwide furor about insanity...
