...Bowman's car were slashed, and dents were pounded into its hood and sides. The next day, the windows were smashed, and on the house was written "Eichmann" in lipstick letters 20 inches high. On March 16, a fire was set with a sulphur bomb on the fender of Bowman's car. Uncalled delivery trucks arrived from every direction. "One night," said Bowman, "we got five cabs, two tow trucks, 14 pizzas, nine chickens, enough frogs' legs for 18 people, day and night television service, liquor deliveries-everything...
