Somewhere along the line, former friends say, he embraced failure. In 1980, after an inheritance quarrel, Kreimer abandoned the house and moved to Denver. During that time, he would often make late-night phone calls to people back in New Jersey asking for emergency loans to return home. According to Joel Beecher, a family friend, people in the community wired hundreds of dollars; none of the money brought him home, and the loans were never repaid.

...what lessons do they point to? Kenyan society is searching for reasons for its nightmare. Was it "abominable male chauvinism," as a local journalist put it, that brought on the crime? The boys, it seemed, were taking revenge on the girls for their refusal to join them in a quarrel with school officials.
