...Austin slaughter breathed new life into a bill now before Congress, sponsored by Connecticut's Senator Thomas Dodd, which would 1) severely limit interstate mail-order handgun shipments; 2) limit the inflow of military-surplus firearms from abroad; 3) ban over-the-counter handgun sales to out-of-state buyers and anybody under 21; and 4) prohibit longarm sales to persons under 18. Invoking the "shocking tragedy" in Austin, President Johnson urged speedy passage "to help prevent the wrong persons from obtaining firearms."

...abiding citizens." The great majority of the nation's 9,850 murders last year were family affairs, committed by outwardly ordinary people who, asserts Tanay, "practically never repeat this or any other crime again."

Even to Chicago police - inured to every form of sadistic death - the apartment presented a heartrending, stomach-turning spectacle...
...Little Scream." Then, Miss Amurao related, "he took one of the girls out of the room. After a few minutes he came back alone and took another of the girls. He kept this up." One by one, the nurses went like lambs to the slaughter. None uttered more than "a little scream," said Corazon. The windows were open, but a second group of nurses who lived next door was on vacation; the victims' muffled cries were not loud enough to awaken other neighbors...
