Byrd's body was found on the morning of June 7, torn apart as if some wild animal had set upon it. His torso was at the side of a country road. His head and an arm were just over a mile away, ripped from his body as it hit a concrete drainage culvert. Police marked a piece of flesh here, his dentures there, his keys somewhere else--75 red circles denoting body parts and belongings along a two-mile stretch of asphalt.

...there are plenty of ways to reduce my cholesterol without resorting to drugs. You can bet Merck will be doing further studies to see if people like me would be wise to start taking preventive lovastatin. But for now, I think I'll try to run an extra mile or two each week and cut more saturated fat from my diet. A pill may be easier, but I'd just as soon avoid...
