Other disturbing questions were raised by Dr. Ali Z. Hameli, chief medical examiner of the state of Delaware and the forensic expert who identified the six-year-old remains of Nazi Josef Mengele last summer in Brazil. Retained by Goode's commission, Hameli found what appeared to be buckshot fragments in three of the bodies among the six adults and five children who died in the Move house. The Philadelphia police had testified that they did not shoot at Move members trying to escape the fire. Hameli's testimony, based on his findings, was that the cause of the deaths...
Some movie genres will just not lie still under Lawrence Kasdan's knife. As screenwriter (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and writer-director (Body Heat), he has performed deft surgery on the Saturday-matinee serial and the film noir melodrama. But the western will not yield. Silverado sprays the buckshot of its four or five story lines across the screen with the abandon of a drunken galoot aiming at a barn door.

...begin circling the giant world. But when it comes to the dense rivers of ice and rubble that form the planet's rings, the word gap is an imprecise term. Even a seemingly clear opening can be swarming with dust and particles. A collision with a bit of cosmic buckshot no bigger than a marble could destroy the ship. Making matters worse, the 930 million miles separating Saturn and Earth mean that even moving at the speed of light, radio instructions take 84 min. to travel out and another 84 to come back. Thus the ship would be operating entirely...
...Damn, that hurt." After naked prisoners were forced to pile up on the floor, Sergeant Javal Davis jumped into the human heap and stamped on fingers or toes. Frederick seemed "mellow" when he commanded prisoners to masturbate. Once, for no particular reason, said Sivits, Graner beat a prisoner's buckshot wound with a police baton. "The detainee begged Graner, 'Mister, mister, please stop,'" testified Sivits. He said Graner replied, "Ah, does that hurt...
