Last week the payoff came when police arrested a new suspect in the Wylie-Hoffert murders: Richard Robles, 22, an ex-convict and narcotics addict, whose habit is said to require "about five bags of heroin a day." (Daily cost: roughly $100 or more.) The evidence against Robles reportedly rests on the word of a friend-turned-informer, Nathan Delaney, 35, another addict with three criminal convictions...
...thought of a scene in The Connection where a hopelessly square photographer asks the addict hipsters "D'ya got any Pot??" and, to his anguish and humiliation, they mimic him. There was none of that exclusive cruelty in Allen, a sweet, sensitive man who was, as they say of Lassie when she barks and wags her tail furiously at the sheriff's men, only trying to tell me something...

Roche has no patience with liberal apologists for totalitarians of the left like Castro: "I have never known a man who treated a gun as a symbol-instead of an instrument-who was not fundamentally depraved. When such an addict of romantic violence appears in politics mouthing left-wing slogans, are we to deny the insights of experience for the nostalgia of a phrase?" Roche also advises liberals to stop worrying and writing so much about the radical right. Right-wing extremists like the late Joseph F. McCarthy and Robert Welch must be fought but kept...
