The mischaracterization of the alleged violence by Chancey Luna, Michael 
Jones and James Edwards began when one of the trio claimed they 
had hunted down and shot dead Australian Chris Lane because they were 
bored.The statement is so devoid of humanity and so headline-ready that 
the media seized upon it as a literal and complete explanation for 
why these three accused killers acted so inhumanely.But the statement is 
a smokescreen. Boredomof the kind sane people experiencehad nothing, whatsoever, 
to do with Lanes death and explains nothing about how it happened.When 
normal people are bored, they go to the movies, go shopping or 
skateboarding or take a drive to the beach. Only when people are 
severely psychologically disordered do they think up murder as an antidote 
to boredom. Only when extraordinarily disordered patterns of thought, feeling 
or perception fill ones mind does the vacuum of boredom draw someone 
to the idea of using a gun to shoot a stranger in 
the head. Chancey Luna, Michael Jones and James Edwards, if guilty, are 
not normal. So we should not be surprised, nor take at face 
value, the self-report that they killed out of boredom, because that excuse 
emerges from a person who is psychologically shattered and unaware enough 
to pump a bullet into another mans skull.So why would these three 
allegedly do this if it had nothing to do with boredom? Probably 
because Chris Lane, a strong man running the streets on a bright 
day, was 
er, Joan of Arc in Lillian Hellman's adaptation of Jean Anouilh's 
"The Lark." The play had a six-month run, primarily because of the 
notices for Harris.The actress was something of a critics' darling, getting 
good reviews even when her plays were less-well received. These included 
such work as "Marathon `33," "Ready When You Are, C.B.!" and even 
a musical, "Skyscraper," adapted from an Elmer Rice play, "Dream Girl."Her 
third Tony came for her work in "Forty Carats," a frothy French 
comedy about an older woman and a younger man. It was a 
big hit, running nearly two years.Harris won her last two Tonys for 
playing historical figures -- Mary Todd Lincoln in "The Last of Mrs. 
Lincoln" and poet Emily Dickinson in "The Belle of Amherst" by William 
Luce. The latter, a one-woman show, became something of an annuity for 
Harris, a play she would take around the country at various times 
in her career.The actress liked to tour, even going out on the 
road in such plays as "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Lettice & Lovage" 
after they had been done in New York with other stars.Harris' last 
Broadway appearances were in revivals, playing the domineering mother in 
a Roundabout Theatre Company production of "The Glass Menagerie" (1994) 
and then "The Gin Game" with Charles Durning for the National Actors 
Theatre in 1997.In 2005, she was one of five performers to receive 
Kennedy Center honors.Harris was born on Dec. 2, 1925, in Grosse Pointe, 
Mich., the daughter
