...beat that should be relatively serene, even awe inspiring. But for the past four years, when she patrolled the 530 miles of book-lined corridors at the Library of Congress in Washington, library police detective Deborah Maceda grew increasingly disturbed by the evidence of crime run amuck.

They threw acid in their faces or said, 'Let me take off your lipstick,' and cut their lips with a razor hidden in a Kleenex." She also recalls the early lure of plunder. "The government offered my husband and me a villa in north Tehran. It was incredible, like a palace. My husband said, 'No, we can't take it.' But there were many other Revolutionary Guards who drank alcohol and took...
