  The hired gunman who confronted Sister Dorothy asked her if she was carrying a weapon. She produced her Bible and began to read. This story presents the murder in 2005 of an American nun, Sister Dorothy Stang, which focused the world's attention on the plight of poor farmers in the Brazilian Amazon and their struggles against rapacious developers.
