Robert drew one of his stolen pistols. "I've got a real gun too," he said, "and I know how to use it." First, he jerked his thumb toward the cash register. Nobody moved. Then Robert fired. With scarcely a moment's pause, the boy shot all three men, killing Owner Blair, wounding Kenney and Wilson. Giving up the thought of robbery, the boys fled. David ran home, after firing his gun aimlessly in the street, and was found by police as he sat on his grandmother's lap, crying. Robert hid in an abandoned cotton...

Mikoyan and the others wrung the boss's hand. Khrushchev stepped to the rostrum to say with apparent emotion; "I shall do everything to justify your confidence and shall not spare strength, health or life to serve...
