THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHARDSON - A store
manager, her throat slashed by
bandits, questioned why she was
bleeding during an emotional plea
for help to an emergency
dispatcher, a tape shows.
Police in the North Dallas
suburb Wednesday released
contents of a taped conversation
between Angie King and a 911
operator during the Thanksgiving
eve attack at a sporting goods
store that left two co-workers
dead.
"It's just . . . Oh, my God. I'm
so bloody," a frightened Ms. King,
22, told the dispatcher, adding
that she didn't know why she was
bleeding.
King was in fair condition
Thursday at Parkland Memorial
Hospital, where she was
recovering from the neck wounds,
said Sue Mundell, a
spokeswoman.
Justin S. Marquart and
Frederick J. Banzhaf, both 18, died
at Herman's Sporting Goods store.
King, the store's assistant
manager, first called police at
10:42 p.m. on Nov. 25 but made
only gurgling sounds before
hanging up.
But dispatcher Amy Richards
called back and pressed King for
information during an 11-minute
conversation in which the
manager said her co-workers had
died in the robbery.
"I'm bleeding ... I'm scared,"
King said.
Some of the injured woman's
responses were unintelligible, but
she provided details about the
robbery suspects to police, who
later shot and killed one man. Two
others are in custody.
Information provided by King
led to warrants for James Curtis

Friends to honor Lady Bird
Johnson's 80th birthday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Lady Bird Johnson is already embarrassed and the
party hasn't even begun.
Too bad, say her friends, who have pulled together two days of
celebrations to honor the former first lady's 80th birthday and her
"life well lived."
"We just didn't give her an alternative," said Liz Carpenter, Mrs.
Johnson's former press secretary and coordinator of the private
events at the LBJ Library Friday and Saturday.
"She said to keep things low key, but with millions of friends and
the enthusiasm for her, there's no. way to keep it low key. She's
already told me 'Liz, I'm going to be blushing for two days.'"
Every president since LBJ has sent regards, and they are included
in a commemorative book "A Life Well Lived" that will be given to
guests at the celebration. The book is filled with photographs and
personal remembrances from Mrs. Johnson's friends and family
members.
"When we reflect on the life and achievements of this great first
lady, we recall that she brought to the White House a quiet strength,
dignity, and grace that virtually belied the tenor of the times," wrote
President Bush.
The celebration includes personal tributes on Friday from several
former members of her husband's administration, including
Laurance S. Rockefeller and Sargent Shriver.

SAN ANTONIO - Phones
were working again Thursday
after Southwestern Bell repaired
lines damaged when thieves took
500 feet of cable from a park.
Service was disrupted early
Wednesday for about 1,000
customers, including several
schools and a fire station.
The cable stolen from Lady
Bird Johnson Park was hardly
worth the thieves' effort,
authorities say.
Company officials said the
copper cable is worth about 70
cents per pound, but San Antonio
scrap dealers said it is worth
much less because of the cable's
makeup.
The paper-wrapped cable is
composed of 1,000 copper wires
smaller in diameter than a pencil's
lead.
"There's no real practical
to separate it," one dealer said
"It's probably worth atmos
to 5 cents a pound."
Workers repairing the dam
had to splice together each
1,000 individual wires.
