- Just adding to the plethora of cheery reports of kidnappings, killings
- and abandonments ...
-
- This New Year in New York is marred by the kidnapping of a young girl.
- Soon after she was last seen, her grandmother got a call from her,
- saying something like, "He's got a knife ... he's coming." The police
- have found the payphone the call was made from, but that's about all
- they've got.
-
- However, this is New York, where such events seem concentrated. Happy
- New Year to you all; we're watching the Rose Bowl parade.
