pistol twice at the rear tires of the

was heard around the world.
But Collins is more than famous.
He has been marked by a group of

their rage.
And Collins. The answer is sim
pie. Collins, on his trusty wheel,
with his short-range revolver on his
hip. calmly patrols the roads that
lead into and out of Glen Echo.
1t does not disturb the militant
Collins that, when he let 60 h-s shot
