  "Beauty and Redemption" by Alan Stone at Beauty Worlds
He is "that weirdo" who looks into the eye of the murdered Lester Burnham, with a strange smile of pleasure signalling the "surfeit of aliveness" in the face of death, the validating flicker from the mind to the body as he saw God looking back.
Lester’s reaction to this unbeautiful girl is as mysterious to me as Scarry’s response to her palm tree.
Meanwhile Lester’s wife Carolyn has learned the ecstasy of firing a gun from her partner in adultery and has mastered a motivational tape mantra, "I will not be a victim." She too is thinking of killing Lester.

 Increased security for PM Lester Bird of Antigua<P> Mohammad and Malvo
Bird said he would be placing the security of prime ministers on the table when he meets with other Caricom Heads of Government at the next summit.
Bird told the rally he had "never met the young woman at anytime in any place." He said the girl's mother had come to his office "to complain about her daughter, and her frequent escapes from home." But he did not explain why the mother would come to him.
Bird's lawyers, who demanded the retraction of the story and a full public apology, pointed out that by the content of the story, the Observer "attempted to confirm that the allegations on the tape are true notwithstanding the prime minister's denial of knowing the young lady."
