Turning, he saw a woman, armed with an M-l carbine, kneeling on the pavement to pick up two ammunition clips and one or two cartridges. Seconds later, said...
William Menzel, a dental lab-technician instructor, began making his decision back in Albany, N.Y., after he realized that "if you said hi to people on the streets, they thought you were going to mug them." He loaded up his wife and four children and headed for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where, he says gratefully, "my wife can walk the dog at 2 a.m. without fear, and the kids haven't been mugged on the way to school or had their lunches taken away from them...
