...Lt. William R. Calley again makes headlines as a result of a recent court ruling permitting him to be freed on bail pending an appeal of his previous convictions for "murdering at least 22 Vietnamese citizens at My Lai March 16, 1968."

They enjoy killing everyone who is in cahoots with criminals, including innocent party girls. Harry, who still loves his Magnum 44 with the passion Clint Eastwood usually reserves for faithful animals, refuses to go along with them. "Nothing's wrong with shooting as long...
