There are six or eight drivers in most of Scott's classes. The first day is devoted to shooting up an old Buick with a 9-mm machine gun, an automatic pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun so the students will be familiar with the firepower available to the "opposition." Most slugs easily penetrate the side of the car. Then four of the class put on crash helmets and seat belts for an initiation run around the track in one of Scott's four new, high-performance Chevrolet Malibu police cars...
These sensible steps, however, are being undermined by the quixotic behavior of some of the council's more impulsive members. The soldier who executed Tolbert, Harrison T. Pennue, marched into Monrovia's John F. Kennedy Memorial Medical Center shortly after the coup and pistol-whipped a doctor in the middle of an operation.

There he critically wounded himself with a shot in the forehead from the .22-cal. pistol. When policemen went to his isolated farmhouse eight miles from Daingerfield (pop. 2,800), they discovered his wife Gretchen bound to a kitchen chair with rope and telephone cord. On a table was a note: "Jeremiah says the King is the King of Kings." In the basement, the officers found...
