...Vice President was first interviewed by his chief deputy at 8 a.m. Sunday morning-14 hours after the incident-at the ranch 21 miles south of Sarita, the county seat. Since Monday, the deputy, Gilberto San Miguel Jr., has also gotten statements from Cheney?s hunting partner Pamela Willeford, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Lichtenstein, ranch owner Katharine Armstrong and her sister Sarita Armstrong Hixon, as well as two outriders helping with the hunt-Jerry and Oscar Medellin.

"A blithe psychopath," in the words of Charles Willeford's spiffy source novel, Junior is fresh out of a California prison and primed for Miami vice. His M.O.: robs crooks who have robbed other people. Thinks he's smart; isn't. Has grousy temper; will break the finger of an unsuspecting airport Hare Krishna. Can compose haiku during his heists -- "Breaking, entering/ The dark and lonely places/ Finding a big gun" -- but can't choreograph a decent holdup. Junior is an engaging monster...
