Thirteen year old Bobby Bain is helpful, friendly, well-loved by all. Bobby also has a dark side. He lures his girlfriend into the blackness of an abandoned coal mine, rapes her and then maneuvers her into the open mouth of a deep elevator shaft-down, down to her death. Months later Bobby watches Internal Revenue agents sell his father's machine shop for back taxes. And then he finds his father dying at the end of a rope, a suicide. Bobby swears vengeance-he will kill federal tax collectors. Years pass and Bobby embarks on his mission. He kills two IRS agents and others in spectacular ways, leaving no clues to his identity. Federal and local lawmen join forces and get on the killer's trail. The action rages across Ohio to the abandoned coal mine where young Bobby did his first killing.

The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."

It’s okay to be strong, courageous, faithful, chivalrous, and full of virility, and it’s okay to develop one’s position of leadership and authority. With all my vices, weaknesses, and shortcomings, this is who I strive to be. It’s who we want our daughters to marry and our sons to become. Such is the man most capable of complementing his wife and encouraging her to become the woman she has every right to be. The man you are becoming need not cower at the altar of groupthink and p...
