All of Los Angeles was talking about it. I interviewed Mrs. Wilkinson on June 22. We all found out about it the same time, just before Memorial Day weekend, that four deer had died tragically, gruesomely, horribly in or on the spiked fence which surrounded Ms. Lender's property. She allowed four deer to perish, and I'm convinced that had we not put so much pressure on her to do something, we'd have scraped the flesh of yet another beautiful animal from the razor-sharp spikes. Lender's senseless, unnecessarily prolonged slaughter of deer has made her a pariah where she lives.
People get bored in Suburbia, and eventually create their own imagined drama.
Mrs. Wilkinson and the other ladies of Sierra Madre have given names to all of the characters in the town.
