8:00 PM on Thursday, Melinda's mother heard a polite rap at the door
which she opened to find, in full dress uniform, four smiling black
officers. Her mouth fell open, but pulling herself together, she
stammered, 'There must be some mistake.'
'No, Ma'am,' said the first officer. 'Captain Goldberg never makes mistakes.'[/color]
