...dating teen-age girls is well known in Hollywood, seemed remarkably unchastened by the impending legal action that could ruin his American career. Three days after his arrest he appeared at a fashionable restaurant accompanied by a girl who looked not a great deal older than the age of consent...
...policemen's discontent surrounds their assertion that Gorski's reorganization unfairly increased the burden expected of them, and destroyed morale within the force by instituting sharp changes in their work routines without their consent. Naturally, some of this discontent stems from the natural resistance to change that characterizes any comfortable organization.

Their mother had gotten a legal writ giving her custody of her children for thirty days. They ended up meeting twice in Boonesville, however, since neither of the girls would consent to meet outside the farm. Storey said, "We would be talking to them, in philosophical discussions, and no matter what was said, they always came to the conclusion that they were right." Finally, at the second meeting, police came to put the girls into the custody of their mother...
