The killing had the signs of a professional hit: the gunman managed to slip into the house without disturbing seven guard dogs and Shoen's sleeping children. But what was the motive?

Leonard Shoen, the founder of U- Haul, says he could comfortably retire on $50,000 a year...
...Defense Department; Boston's Mayor Kevin White to oversee the Justice Department and the IRS; former Interior Secretary Walter Hickel, a Republican, to direct the Interior and Agriculture departments; Howard Stein, president of the Dreyfus Fund, to tackle the Treasury (minus, of course, the IRS); and Sam Shoen, president of the U-Haul company, to manage Commerce, Labor and Transportation. McCarthy said he would keep Housing and Urban Development Secretary Carla Hills and Transportation Secretary William Coleman in his Administration. For good measure, McCarthy said, he would name Harvard Sociologist David Riesman (The Lonely Crowd) to the Supreme Court...
