He seemed intent on killing, or at least seriously injuring, Jacoby, rather than simply hurting him enough to protect Madeline from any danger he might have thought Jacoby posed to her. (In fact, didn't the beating actually continue after Madeline had left the scene?) --- Barbara Petersen ..{apple, claris, dlb, tandem, teraida}!netcom!petersen petersen@netcom.uucp "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
