...Higgins' twist was to wed the docudrama to the crime romance (film noir, as the French later called it). For the docu part of the story, an authoritative off-screen voice would set up parallel narrative tracks: a criminal's m.o. and the dogged work of government sleuths to catch him. Audiences were assured that not only could this felony happen, it did happen, for it was "based on case histories in the files of" some federal agency. But that was just half of it. The veneer of authenticity allowed Higgins and Mann to display more rotten behavior, more thugs...
...Meanwhile, the nurse, instead of sending the disabled girl away, decides to raise her as her own child. The lives of the two twins unfold separately but in parallel, the one illuminating the other, each illustrating the way a secret meant to set people free can end up trapping them instead...
...repent-or-burn zeal, wound up exchanging letters with the preacher and his wife for years after they bought the bus. Woroniecki wrote that "the role of woman is derived...from the sin of Eve" and that bad children come from bad mothers. Sometimes her family life seemed to parallel his: raising kids on the road, home schooling, God fearing. At one point, she asked Woroniecki to write a letter to help convert her Catholic parents.

The North might not currently be able to retaliate against the U.S., but it has huge artillery batteries stationed just across the 38th parallel ready to take aim at Seoul, one of the world's most densely populated cities. Even if Seoul isn't attacked, a U.S. strike would almost certainly fracture the U.S.--South Korean alliance. The population of South Korea overwhelmingly opposes the use of force against the North. Despite the fact...
...janitors' wages have risen, salaries for other Pittsburgh jobs have followed suit. Security guards, for instance, working in buildings where unionized janitorial workers are employed, have seen their earnings advance in parallel. Over the past three years, the median household income in the city has grown nearly 3%, from $39,643 to $40,699, adjusted for inflation. And annual janitorial-job turnover, as high as 300% in Cincinnati, is just one-tenth that rate in Pittsburgh. As a result, contractors' costs for recruitment and training are significantly lower. "For a community and its families, wage gains for low-income workers...
