FRIDAY NIGHT. IN A COLLEGE TOWN IN VIRGINIA, TORCHES CROSS THE DARK — AND BY SATURDAY A YOUNG WOMAN IS DEAD. THE COUNTRY WAITS FOR ITS KING TO NAME THE EVIL.

This week in the saga
Chapter 12 opens with fire on two fronts. From a New Jersey clubhouse he promises the hermit kingdom fire and fury, then locked-and-loaded launchers at dawn. And on Friday night, torches cross a Virginia college town: by Saturday a young woman is dead, and the king of the feed — never at a loss for words — reads a careful statement condemning hate on many sides. The country hears what he did not say. In three days, in his gold tower, he will say much more.
