guarantees future murders
Editor, the Tribune: After the Omaha, Neb., massacre, all of the silly, useless post-action comments have tumbled forth - "Why?" "so senseless," "troubled" - ad nauseam.

The death wish of these maniacs always is to "go out in a blaze of glory," a wish always granted by reporters.
