that American individualists "should" accept and absorb as an "understandable" aberration
perpetrated by a crazed individual. But just as individual "points of light" gather and
consolidate the whole strength of a community, so do individual acts of firearm slaughter join
in an "atmosphere of terror." This "tapestry of terror" – this “mural of terror” – is more
culturally disintegrating than individual acts of political terror. The latter are vanishingly rare while
the accumulated effect of the former have become our daily bread, the warp and weft of our "society."
