Sometime after midnight, a neighbor out walking his dog found the bodies. Nicole, wearing only a nightgown, lay in a pool of blood, her head severed to the spinal cord. A barefoot Goldman lay nearby, his body laced with signs of a ferocious struggle and 22 knife wounds. It was the neighborhood dogs that sounded the alarm, their paws spreading a bloody mosaic on the sidewalk around the house. One of the first cops on the scene, a longtime veteran, said, "It was the bloodiest crime scene I have ever seen...

They embody real people whose ceremonial roles have those creatures' characteristics. In Moche drawings, for instance, a strikingly arachnoid figure, dubbed the Decapitator by archaeologists, clasps a crescent-bladed knife in one hand and a severed head in the other.

Although her husband admitted under oath last month in a Texas courtroom that...
They are the soul of the personal computer and worth more than their weight in gold or cocaine. Small wonder then that these tiny, high-tech chips have become the latest target of the international crime set. A few tales from the cyberfront: in Greenock, Scotland, three knife-wielding masked men overpowered a factory guard last month and stole $3.7 million worth of chips and related computer parts; in Fremont, California, burglars disarmed a security system and made off with more than $1.8 million of chips and computer equipment in a January warehouse heist. And outside Portland, Oregon, five gunmen...
