[AT] Killdozer!

[Spencer Yost]

I actually ran across that in my search for the book.  That whole sad affair with the guy running rogue with a bulldozer appeared to have taken on the nickname “KillDozer”; but the name was actually  co-opted from the 1946 short story/1970s film and did not originate with that event.

The movie "Tread" which was streaming recently on Amazon deals with the Marv Neemeyer (sp?) story, probably in the most balanced way. The book "Killdozer" by the newspaper publisher whose building was wrecked by same is obviously biased, Marv was pretty reasonable all things considered, until he felt pushed too far. I am biased myself having spent time where it happened and talking to people who knew him. That's all I have to offer to this out of context conversation.
