...title story, Dr. Benito Zamora (a.k.a. "Dr. Do-Good" because of his charity work in his native Mexico) finds himself cripplingly alone and seeks to escape the city that is suddenly distasteful to him.

"There aren't too many accomplished people," he says, "able to hide such dark sides." That's what's so haunting about this case: if found guilty (attorneys say the pair will plead innocent), it will appear that the same determination that brought success in classrooms and on athletic fields led them to view Jones as just another obstacle to what they wanted, another obstacle to be removed...
