Harvey says the wooden man who is burned toward the end of the week doesn't signify anything. But as it was at the first Burning Man, it is the symbol that attracts the crowds. "That first man was just 8 ft. tall, and it was enough," Harvey says. "Something bigger than they are--that's all people need. It's at least enough to inspire a leap of faith." As if on cue, Maid Marian, his girlfriend and a partner in the LLC, starts tearing into a shirtless, bearded man, screaming and cursing at him for authorizing...

They complain that some visiting dignitaries refused to be photographed near it. They have sympathizers at the University of Hawaii who recently punted their team name and symbol for the same reason.

He left no decipherable signature: the bags tied around his victims' heads were more likely an effort to contain the blood than a symbol of suburban anonymity. Even FBI psycho profilers were stymied, offering only that the perpetrator was probably a white male age 20 to 40. When a suspect was finally arrested, hookers recalled him as a regular, paying cash several times a month for a $28.95 room at the Spokane Budget Saver Motel. "He was a good trick," says Everson. "He was never weird. The women were...
