...married and had a son (named after him, now seven years old). Then he took a mistress, Greta lude, a beautician.

That same afternoon, a black man walked into Alexander's Rent-A-Car agency, six blocks away, and stole $600. He rode off in a 1965 blue Mustang, which had been waiting with a driver at the wheel...
