...through the window. It took a while for Robert, who is still recovering from a triple coronary bypass, to fetch the shotgun now kept by the door, and by that time, the prowlers had vanished. Since then, Helen seldom ventures into the yard, even in daylight, without her 9-mm pistol. "I'm no racist. Why, I have a Mexican daughter-in-law," says Helen, 78, a stocky woman with the tenacity of a snapping turtle.

Tomorrow's soldiers will also be outfitted with the Army's new Buck Rogers-like supergun. The lower of its two barrels sprays more standard bullets, but the key to the new rifle--given the catchy Army name of "objective individual combat weapon"--is the 20-mm air-burst round fired by its top barrel.

As they raced through the rest of the house, the agents knocked over a statue of the Virgin Mary and a huge picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the living room. Finally, they kicked their way into the bedroom, breaking...
...just after Easter, some Washington kid who was either a young warrior out to prove himself, or else merely an angry boy like me - or both, perhaps - has let fly, not with rocks but with 9 mm bullets, at the edge of the National Zoo, and wounded seven children at the end of a traditional African-American family...
