...Press helicopters whirled overhead, and photographers swung perilously above the prison wall on a crane. State troopers converged on Charlestown, and a Walker Bulldog tank lumbered up to the prison gates. The Rev. Edward Hartigan, the prison's Roman Catholic chaplain, was permitted to enter Cherry Hill to hear confessions and give Communion to some of the hostages. The prison physician was allowed to minister to a sick guard. Pretty Toby Green, 16, made a telephone call to her besieged father. Excerpts: Toby: Hey, Dad? Green: Oh, Toby! . . .

In San Francisco, Chicago and many another city, charity is the springboard...
...steady-eyed priest, a good guard, a bad guard, and a good, dumb crime reporter. After the well-engineered escape, Eddie, the boys and his moll foolishly hole up on the top floor of a warehouse. At this point, the shooting becomes so excessive that the audience can hardly hear the dialogue. When the bullets finally burn Eddie to the floor, everybody feels that shooting is too good for him; moviegoers may feel the same way about the picture...
