But he also cultivates a deceptively down-home cornpone image. He and Wife Harmolyn rarely go out at night.

Working under carefully controlled laboratory conditions, Darley and Latané found that a bystander is less likely to help in a group than when he is alone. A crowd, they concluded, tends to diffuse responsibility and makes it easier for the individual to do nothing. The Piliavins and Mrs. Rodin cautiously dispute this theory.
