In 14 stormy fears, the Austin-based biweekly paper las tangled singlehanded with oil and gas interests, exposed statehouse scandals, often made life painful for politicians in the land of Lyndon.

He begins by methodically killing his wife and mother. Then, from an oil-storage tank and later at a drive-in theater, he coolly fires away at helpless motorists trapped in their cars. The slaughter does not end until Boris Karloff, stoically suffering through a prolonged cameo appearance as a fading horror-movie star, collars the killer. "I hardly ever missed...
