An ambulance took him away, and when Bull Connor heard about it later, he leered in mock despair: "I waited a week down here to see that, and then I missed it. I wish it had been a hearse."

Burton, for his part, was chiefly impressed?in Richard's first awkward go on a stage?by the boy's "astonishing audience control. He could do anything he wanted with the audience."
