...kind of banking miracle in homey Charlotte, a deus ex machina where the machina is his very own NationsBank automated-teller machines, and the deus wears cowboy boots. Last week McColl announced the boldest deal yet: a plan to merge NationsBank with California-based BankAmerica to create a golden Godzilla with deposits of $346 billion. On Wall Street, where financial stocks have sizzled this year, the marriage was greeted with huge plaudits.

So says Tom Furth, the Ohio lawyer hired by the boy's father. Last Friday, ABC's Barbara Walters was prepared to air Mitch Johnson's version of the day of the shooting, as related by Furth, on "20/20." But that afternoon the piece was abruptly dropped...
