德曼。这多少还说得过去，因为曾持枪伤人的拉德曼的确欠原来当警察的史密斯3万5千美元。可是，不知由于什么原因，那位联邦法官为此大为恼火。他抱怨说史密斯的律师不过是在骚扰拉德曼及其律师。（4）于是在一项显得非同寻常的裁决中，法官要保险公司一张支票给他本人，然后他这个联邦法官，再开一张个人支票给曾持枪伤人的拉德曼，这样就能把事情了结了。这两张支票随时都可能开出。当法官詹姆斯?T?巴洛格被问及开支票这一安排时，他表示无可奉告，因为此案尚未判决。（5）可是，如果他果真照此办理，拉德曼便能得到这笔钱。而史密斯，这位被致残的警察，将一瘸一拐地去田纳西州的某个小木屋，明白自己完全是被耍弄了。KeytoGuidedWritingI.3,1,7,2,4,8,11,13,5,9,6,12,10AFrenchmanhadarrivedatasmallingw
