Bloody Murderers

OVER the past two months the world has experienced a mini-epidemic of mass killings by men possessed with strange rages.

On March 13, the 43-year-old Thomas Watt Hamilton walked into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, armed with two Browning 9-mm automatics and two .357 magnum revolvers. He blasted away, killing a teacher and 16 five-and six-year-old children, and wounding 14 more. Then Hamilton killed himself.
