The Web was college professor John Raymond, whose field was criminology. Though he merely theorized about criminals by day, at night, in his green and yellow costume, he dealt with them in a more practical manner ?trapping them, as he put it, in a web of their own making. His interest in the subject went back to childhood, when his brother, Tom, ran afoul of the law. He wondered what would lead a person to take such a destructive path in life, and made a career of trying to find out.
