Letter from Wellfleet, Massachusetts

"A Jewish Rambo!" That's what this little Cape Cod town was getting for its new chief of police, or so I'd heard. It was 1990, and the Cape, particularly those towns situated on the lower part--Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown--was undergoing a demographic sea change. Changes can be quite painful. And I was going to be one of them.
