...lying on the front lawn and blood all over the place. It looks like a bad one." It was even worse than the caller thought. When police reached the hilltop home rented by Film Director Roman Polanski (Knife in the Water, Rosemary's Baby) in the fashionable suburb of Bel Air, they found not one body but five. It was a scene as grisly as anything depicted in Polanski's film explorations of the dark and melancholy corners of the human character...
...locale for the story was certainly a plausible one: Los Angeles, that well-known suburb of Hollywood. The leading character was Thomas T. Noguchi, 42, who graduated in 1951 from Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, migrated to California, and was licensed to practice there in 1955.

Such whites view bussing, for example, as a scheme to move their chil dren to worse public schools while rich children...
Consider Benjamin Braddock. Raised in the comfort of an upper-middle class California suburb, sent off to a good school, given all the appurtenances necessary for existence at such a place. (A picture of his college room leaps into mind so readily: KLH, chianti bottle with candle drippings, and all.) He comes home, realizes just what sort of a disgusting life his parents and their friends lead, and is in a quasi-cynical sort or existential agony about it all for several reels of film...
