Elkins had backing for his story of Schrunk's bribe-taking: Elkins' bookkeeper told the McClellan committee that Cliff Bennett (who refused, without offering legal grounds, to answer questions) had come up $500 short in his accounts and had said, "Well, I gave it to Terry Schrunk." A hat-check girl in the 8212 Club recalled that Bennett, after talking to Schrunk on the night of the raid, asked her for a Manila envelope.

LeGuen's cellmates, Raymond Pelligrin as Gino and Antoine Balpetre as Dr. Dutoit, the one a young Corsican feudist and the other a resigned old man, make proud and individualistic people for whom legal 'responsibility' can only be irrelevant. It merely intensifies the private obligation to die well. As Rene's kid brother, Georges Pouliouly sometimes seems less bewildered than still.
