...trouble, Ball says, started with "these civil rights demands" - namely, one-man, one-vote in Ulster elections, more equitable allocation of housing and jobs, and disbanding of the predominantly Protestant auxiliary police force known as the B-Specials. Now, Ball insists, the Catholics are "hell-bent" on unification with the Irish Republic to the south, which is not only poorer than the North but also Catholic-dominated...
Polarized Women. Stanley, out of the inertia of good-fellowship, shuffles into this scene and is given the name Scott (Winfield).
