Of course, right knees jerked as rapidly as the left ones, as some observers claimed that the looters stole because they were human jackals, amoral animals, the scum of the earth. Newsweek quoted one woman as saying the looters were "coming across Bushwick Avenue like buffalos...

They dug into his past life, talked to his cigar-chomping high school coaches, asked his mother his favorite dish, and visited his old stomping grounds at the gas station. Time and Newsweek featured him with their usual platitudes, running on about the "new baseball fad" or "the teenage symbol."
