...capes, only 30 miles wide at its broadest point, the Chesapeake has long been a source of almost overwhelming natural abundance. Geese, black ducks, mallard, teal and widgeon have darkened the skies over the bay and fattened themselves in its marshes. Striped bass, shad and herring spawn in its shallow bays. Oysters, clams and the succulent Atlantic blue crab provide the bay's hardy watermen with a livelihood and gourmets with seafood delights...
There is a hint of where the columns come from when Bombeck is persuaded to talk about herself. "My life story?" she says. "Fifteen minutes top. You're looking at shallow. I'm just not that deep.

Rivas and his men allegedly don civilian clothes and masks before conducting a nighttime hit, while other times they show up at a house in broad daylight and full uniform to take someone away for "questioning." A favorite dumping ground is a shallow estuary near by, but sometimes the burial technique is grislier. Several heads were once discovered stuffed in cloth bags and neatly aligned in a field, while the bodies were scattered around the town. Rivas reportedly told one person of how ten bodies from Metalio were heaped in a nearby village...
