...examined by Dr. Harry Hoffman, Criminal Court behavior clinician. Frank of countenance and looking much like any 13-year-old, George Rogalski talked calmly. In what he called the "most fascinating" study of his experience, Dr. Hoffman pronounced the boy sane, not vicious, a "moral imbecile," a sexual psychopath hopelessly antagonistic to girls of his age and preoccupied with very young ones.

Derwent, of course, knows that Savilla is a crashing cad, who lures women abroad to a horrible fate--just what this fate is never becomes quite clear. Obviously, he must save poor Betty from this awful monster; but how, he does not know until he sees himself in a dream killing Savilla and establishing his alibi by tampering with the clock, so that it will...
London's Dr. Norman Haire, copresident of the World League for Sexual Reform, in Manhattan: "Father Coughlin doesn't care how much the children suffer on earth, so long as they are prepared to pick up their little harps and sing Hallelujah...
