...Grocer, a goofily rational rival determined either to bring him into a hired killers' union that he is intent on forming or, failing that, to off the competition. Curiously enough, Grocer and his henchmen blend quite easily into the suburban scene. Grosse Pointe may have grander homes and less snow than, say, Fargo, but spiritually they are sister cities--places where everyone tries to maintain an air of chipper blandness in the face of postmodernism's disorder...
...Colorado Rockies. Wreckage of the plane and fragments of body parts were found Friday in the rugged mountains south of I-70, ending a three-week search. National Guardsmen will continue looking for the four 500-pound bombs the plane was carrying. But officials say that deep snow may have erased so many clues that they may never know why Button's plane left formation to fly 800 miles off course before crashing...

Rescuers already at the tents did what they could to find the others, without much success...

Uninjured, I emerged from underneath a blanket of snow only to discover that pedestrians for blocks around were calling out things like "are you OK?" and "You should sue!"
