Then came a sequence of "whiles"-a while as a door-to-door encyclopedia and Bible salesman, a while as a plumber's helper in Oregon, a while as a disc jockey in Fort Worth, and so on. Willie was forever setting off for new destinations with everything he could call his own loaded into his 1946 Ford: Martha, the three kids they soon had, some furniture and an "Oklahoma credit card" (a length of hose for siphoning gas from roadside tanks). A few years of this and Martha began heading for a destination of her own: divorce court...
...raped by three girls and a boy with a beer bottle on a San Francisco beach. Just four days earlier, NBC-TV had aired a movie called Born Innocent, which depicted four female inmates of a detention home raping a teen-age girl with a "plumber's helper." Arguing that NBC should be held responsible for causing Olivia's rape, Lewis slapped the network and its San Francisco affiliate, KRON-TV, with an $11 million suit on Olivia's behalf...

It made me want to spit...
...teen-age girl is raped in the shower of a detention home by four other female inmates wielding a "plumber's helper." A nine-year-old girl is raped with a beer bottle by four youngsters on a San Francisco beach. The first rape is pure fiction, a scene from NBC'S 1974 two-hour made-for-TV movie Born Innocent. The second is a grotesque real-life replay of the TV scene, performed by three girls, 11, 14 and 15, with a boy, 15, standing watch. According to a police investigator, one of the assailants admitted having...
