Dahlstrom, who admitted that he used marijuana, LSD and amphetamines, was not shy about discussing the crime-though his tale was scarcely coherent. Even before talking to his lawyer, he spilled out his story in prison to the San Francisco Examiner's Mary Crawford. He spoke of a bad LSD trip brought on by a dose that Carter had sold him. Later Dahlstrom told a reporter about what he called "the struggle": "He was convulsing as he went down. That's why I stabbed him some more -maybe a little too much. I hadn't had life...

...soldiers had been "proper" in their treatment of Gaza citizens--more "proper" than they had been in '56 when houses had been searched one by one and citizens shot in the streets when they refused to line up for Israeli inspections. "Nothing like that has happened yet," a Gaza lawyer said with a distinct lack of optimism. Everywhere building showed some signs of the past conflict; one of the hotels where I stopped had taken a direct hit form an Israeli dive bomber-everyone had been shaken by the ferocity of the Israeli fire-power. At almost every major intersection...
