Applying this concept, Cranberg built the "Texas Fire-frame," a spindly metal contraption that looks like a standard fireplace grate with two taller uprights at the front corners fitted with adjustable metal arms that extend into the fireplace. To use it, he places a large log toward the rear of the grate, two smaller ones toward the front, and a fourth log, slightly smaller than the first, on the adjustable arms (see diagram). He then lowers the arms until the top log just touches the surface of the large one at the rear. This creates a cavity that opens...
From the time Federal Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. ordered the Boston schools to desegregate 18 months ago, many of the city's whites-especially in South Boston-have been fighting a tenacious rear-guard action against the ruling.

On the third day of the siege, after a fruitless round of negotiations, another passenger, wearing a yellow shirt and a red tie, was brought to a door of the train. He was shot fatally in the neck and flung onto the railroad...
...robber entered the building at 1:45 a.m., ordered the five customers to move to the rear of the store and demanded that cashier Greg E. Higgens hand over all the money in the register. He then ordered Higgens to lie on the floor while he made his escape...
