...That mystified us," said his $4,500-a-year father. "We thought that maybe he had gotten married to one of those rich girls from those exclusive Eastern schools, and she had given him the $3,500 for the car, or that maybe he had been framed by dope peddlers. I told the dean to bring in the police." The trail was easy. In less than a week John was traced to a hotel room in Oklahoma City. What did the bright, good-looking boy have to say for himself? Said John: "I robbed a bank...
...Public Office. In Oakland, Calif., after they found $500 worth of heroin in his car, cops locked up Dope-Peddling Suspect Robert McShann despite his plea: "You gotta let me out of here or there'll be panic in the streets. I was just making deliveries...

...hopeless they are. But as they continually scratch each other raw then draw back to apologize, the main thing that becomes clear is that none of them is really responsible for his actions. The father's miserliness is the result of an incredibly impoverished childhood, the mother's dope addiction is due to the stupidity of a quack doctor, and the sons' faults are blamed on the fact that neither, with such parents, ever had anything resembling a home. Thus, although they blame each other and themselves at great length, their misfortunes, including the tuberculosis of the second son, have...
