...little rabbits, a white rabbit and a black rabbit, lived in a large forest. They loved to spend all day playing together. "Let's play Hop Skip And Jump Me" said the little white rabbit. "Oh, let's . . . I wish you were all mine!" said the little black rabbit . . . All the other little rabbits came out to see how happy they both were, and they danced all night in the moonlight.

Bubble Trouble. Whom does Schindler suspect? He named no names, but he fingered the man who ordered the killing as "the real power in the Bahamas." What was the motive?
