...more now than we used to about angry boys who kill cats for sport; "Rusty" Weston made it to age 41 before he started killing people too. He divided his time between his parents' home in Valmeyer, Ill., and a shack on a half-acre plot in Rimini, Mont., a dirt-road hamlet in the shadow of Red Mountain named by isolated Irish miners smitten by a touring performance of Tchaikovsky.

She isn't yet seeing plastic people, shadow men or transparent spiders--just three of the fabled hallucinations of the Billings, Mont., crank scene, a hyperstimulated subculture sickeningly rich in slang and folklore. But she is feeling pangs of remorse about her three-year-old. On Monday, when she left her parents' house, where she has been living since dropping out of college, she promised the daughter she calls "my angel" that...
