It's hard to enjoy the natural wonders, though, when ALVINN is behind the wheel, doing 88 km/h in the fast lane. First he lurches right, crossing both lanes of the blacktop and alarming bleary-eyed commuters trying to share the road.

...story began to crumble even before she failed the first of two lie- detector tests. Police continued to give her the benefit of the doubt, at least in public; extreme stress or medication could make the test results inconclusive, they noted. But some neighbors, too, began to wonder. Catherine Frost lives across the street from Smith's tidy little brick house. She heard about the crime on the police scanner she keeps in her bedroom.
