...Jonas it means much more. When creepy railroad tycoon J.P. Stiles (Scott Glenn) offers the towns people $50 an acre for their land, only Jonas stands up to question the shady deal. Stiles' thugs hunt him down and shoot him, but Jonas manages to pass the deed to the farm on to his son. Miserable, Daniel runs out to the family boat and cries himself to sleep. Obviously, the Hacketts are farmers and not sailors since the gentle bobbing of the boat unlaces the feebly-tied mooring rope, setting Daniel adrift down the river...

...Algeria, says Marlowe, "you're not worried about artillery shells or snipers but about the guy who might shoot you point blank or slash your throat while you're sleeping." Three times--once at night--Marlowe ventured out on tense patrols with the "ninjas," the country's masked paramilitary police. It is the only way to see Algiers' most violent areas. On the fourth day, she worked in her hotel while photographer Abbas accompanied the ninjas. His group was ambushed by remote-control bombs, severely damaging an armored vehicle but, fortunately, injuring...

...Shoot-out in the Square:No, not the recent Reservoir Dogs, pump-20-rounds-through-the-window-of-a-car episode of two weeks ago. Late one night my sophomore year the police radio started buzzing-SHOOT-OUT IN THE SQUARE. Stop the presses! (Actually they weren't running, but we had to change the whole layout of the paper). I grabbed my camera and took pictures of the smashed Bay Bank window and another of a police officer pointing to a bullet lodged in a mailbox.
