...feed the attack-trained Doberman pinscher that he had leased for $25 a week. Holding out the meat, he forgot and commanded, "Get it!"; the dog obediently bit his hand. He was still bandaging the wound when two policemen, answering the Tel-Guard summons, began pounding at his door. Fumbling frantically, John managed to undo the three locks on the door, but in the process he dropped the 7-lb. vertical steel bar from the $14.50 Police Fox lock on his foot. After apologizing profusely to the cops, he limped back inside to get his overcoat, checked to make sure...
...time the tearful clerk admitted her mistake and the stony looks turned to embarrassed smiles, John decided to call it a day. Exhausted, nerves frazzled, he walked home-carefully skirting shadows. He took a trifle longer than usual to open his triple-locked door. The delay proved unfortunate.

Opening the door of her home to find a young, leather-jacketed black (Charles Moore), she chirped: "Why, it's a good-looking young Negro. Now don't tell me. I'll bet you're a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or maybe even an astronaut." "None of them...
...some of the blame for the failures of the bells system rests with the Cliffies themselves. Often a girl will not ask for identification from a repairman, or she won't check the whole ground floor before locking up. When the dormitory is locked, girls often prop open the door while they go out to mail a letter or return a reserve book to Hilles. These are all mistakes which by now should no longer happen, in view of the increase of thefts and tension over physical safety...
