...April 21, John had the day off and went with Donna to St. Thomas' Magens Bay. As he swam 100 ft. from shore, she strolled leisurely on the beach -until she heard John scream. Around him the water frothed and reddened sickeningly; he was being attacked by a killer shark...
There was just one time that I thought he might crack in jail: At breakfast one morning, one of the cops poured hot coffee over a fifteen year old girl who was in jail her seventeenth time for the Movement, and in the moment of her scream, Knight started forward.

Women workers in an Argentine flour mill who used to fight and scream at each other on sight, now go to work peaceably to music's soft accompaniment. Passengers on the Trans-Siberian Railroad suffer the trip to the tune of Cossack songs and band music, and a brothel in Stuttgart has applied for the "Light Industrial" program local Muzak men offer...
