What we can find are the seeds of something clean and pure. My generation throws away all hope that one can go beyond the everyday.

Even worse, after the story of the murder appeared in the papers, and the Birmingham C.I.D.'s Chief Superintendent James Haughton made a direct appeal to the passengers ("This bus is vital") that was repeated over radio, on TV, and even flashed on the screens of movie houses, no one came forward...
