...began in late July when the tan 1980 Toyota station wagon owned by Hinckley Police Chief Mel L. Wiley, 47, turned up at Cleveland's Lakefront State Park on Lake Erie. Park rangers noticed it around 4 a.m. one Tuesday. The locked car contained Wiley's neatly stashed clothing, a towel, his wallet, police identification, a badge. Then Wiley's girlfriend Judy Easter reported that the chief told her the day before his disappearance he intended to buy a bathing suit at K mart and go swimming with an unnamed out-of-town visitor.

In any case, there is now a layer of wit stacked over The Concept of Hero as Road Warrior...

Father David Boyea of White Lake, Wis., goes on trial this month on three felony charges involving minor boys. Rhode Island Priest P. Henry Leech is scheduled for an August trial on eight such charges, and in that same state Priest William O'Connell, who was already facing 24 charges relating to perhaps twelve or more youths, was arraigned last week on two additional counts. In San Diego, Monsignor Rudolph Galindo, former rector...
