- 1703 "Naturally, we no longer have either the apparatus to execute anyone or an executioner. We do not believe that a stupidly unreasoning act should incite us to equally unreasoning reprisal, for we would then be as guilty of irrationality as you."W

- 1731 Crowley snapped, "Larry!"From seemingly nowhere, the chauffeur had produced a thin black automatic and was now lazily pointing it, not so much at Ross Wooley as at Dr. Braun and Patricia. He said evenly, softly, "Easy, friend."Ross rel
- 1732 The saturnine Larry chuckled sourly. "Hey, take it easy, chief. You'll kill the guy."Ross had crumpled to the floor. There were still sounds of blows. Crowley raged, "You're lucky I'm not wearing shoes, I'd break every r

- 1734 Vaguely, flicking cigarettes onto the floor, he wondered why. The letter had not given a reason. He had probably flunked a physical. Or a mental. One or the other, each good enough reason. He was 47 years old, and this was a rough business. Still, he felt

- 1740 Wayne cursed. Then he turned the needle gun back up to full power and calmly burned the thing to a crisp. An odor of singed flesh drifted up from the ashes on the sand.He stooped and fumbled in Stevelman's pocket, pulling out a ring of keys."They better
- 1741 Wayne's mouth was growing dry; his tongue felt like sandpaper. Nevertheless, he forced himself to sit quietly, watching the s.h.i.+p closely for the full half hour, before he picked up Sherri, tied his rope around her waist, and lowered her to the valley
