Criminologists wonder just how good an idea it is for Everyman to keep a pistol in the dresser drawer for self-defense. Aside from the moral issue of whether a burglar deserves to be executed for the relatively minor crime of property theft, there is the practical point that if the armed citizen pulls a gun, he is likelier to get shot than is the generally more experienced burglar. Moreover, two-thirds of criminal assaults and three-fourths of homicides result from quarrels among family or friends. U.C.L.A. Psychiatrist Ralph Greenson says: "Guns not only fail to resolve aggression, they...
...Police Officer Samuel Lasky heard a noise at his door, then spotted two strange men tiptoeing in the hall outside his apartment. Alerted by their behavior, he grabbed his gun and stepped out.

When Tom is jailed, Joy takes up with one of his friends. Dave (Terence Stamp) is a burglar, but he is affectionate with Jonny and tender with Joy.

If there were any lingering effects, they certainly did not show. Boston's one real hit was a fluke homer by Pitcher Jose Santiago; only six other Red Sox batters even...
...kids themselves (recruited from the New York City streets) who give the ring of truth to this glossy rendering of Bel Kaufman's novel about a teacher's problems in a slum-area high school. THE THIEF OF PARIS. Jean-Paul Belmondo plays a burglar in turn-of-the-century France, manages only to steal the picture, which, because of its disjointedness, just misses being worth the effort...
