A few days ago here in Chicago, a 5-year-old girl was raped and murdered by a 17-year-old high school dropout. He dumped the girl from a 13th floor window. On this morning's news, he was quoted as saying that the little girl put up a good fight -- he had to pry her fingers from the window ledge. Of course he had to kill her, he said -- she could have identified him. I offer no comments. Make of it what you will. Laura Sheldon ihnp4!ihuxb!irish

(And take your good old time about prying *his* fingers loose so that he has plenty of time to remember the little girl.)
