...while for Robert, who is still recovering from a triple coronary bypass, to fetch the shotgun now kept by the door, and by that time, the prowlers had vanished. Since then, Helen seldom ventures into the yard, even in daylight, without her 9-mm pistol. "I'm no racist. Why, I have a Mexican daughter-in-law," says Helen, 78, a stocky woman with the tenacity of a snapping turtle.

...time when black America was almost invisible in Hollywood. A black hero was unthinkable, let alone one so contemptuous of the pretensions of white society. It promoted this radical morality in which a black man could only do the right thing by stepping outside a corrupt and racist justice system - it was the quintessential Black Panther movie.
