...real key to Lara's success, says Smith, is that she's the first female protagonist in a field filled with muscle-rippled, machine gun-toting macho caricatures like Duke Nukem or the Terminator. Cartoonish features aside, Lara is intelligent, agile and handy with a pistol or two. "She's strong willed and independent," Smith says. He pauses, then adds, "like the Spice Girls...
...shown with her M-16, whose recommendation that "teachers should be encouraged to have guns" earned the animus of 52: "When I read that, I had to scream." "Bochard's pathological relationship with her weapon makes me hope there are no little children who call her Mommy."

He occasionally dons a badge reading RANCH PATROL and jumps in his pickup with an M-16 rifle and 9-mm pistol to guard his spread against trespassers. By his count, Barnett has corralled hundreds of aliens and marched them to the border patrol since last year. "It's a jungle out here," says the cattleman, trudging through mesquite fields littered with plastic jugs and soiled diapers left by illegals.
