The informant, whoever it was, knew what he was talking about. The federal men had to dig only one hole to find the bodies. Schwerner and Goodman had each been shot through the heart with a single .38-caliber bullet. Chaney had three slugs in his body and, according to an unofficial autopsy, had been brutally beaten.

But the first symptoms, such as irritability and depression, are often subtle. "We just thought it was an extreme mid-life crisis," says Wexler, recalling the onset of her mother's illness. "We blamed it all on Betty Friedan."
