was two weeks old. =20Identical rows of men (wi=

=20Here was yet another Bakersfield Journal clipping, this =
one dated July 19th, 1957. =20The tips of his fingers st=
ill hung an inch from the floor, brushing back and forth just above the bo=
bby-pin, and his right hip really felt as if it might simply explode outwa=

=20He nearly fainted, in the grip of the greatest terror he had=
ever known, a terror that was filled with deep and unmanning guilt. =
=20A shift in position caused the stump to come brightl=
y alive, the way a smouldering brand will burst into flame when fanned by =
a breeze. =20It was as if, after wad=
