When I typed yesterday that the Elizabeth Smart case had been "solved" my first impulse was to refer to her as a runaway. I'm sorry now I didn't. Indeed I was about to type something like, "Fifteen-year-olds are at that age...." James Thurber once wrote in a letter to a friend that the teenage girl has the body of a woman and the mind of a poodle-puppy. While the news hacks are speculating on brainwashing, I can only think, if this was a kidnapping it wasn't a cut-and-dried one.
