...brief names as defendants the officers who conducted the raid, the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney who approved it, the judge who issued the warrant, and the chief of the Palo Alto Police Force...

Senelick has expanded upon the episodic format of the text, so that time and the fairly simple plot are frequently interrupted by little extrapolative scenes. This is a hazardous technique, for such material must have an independent value great enough to warrant stopping the action of the play.

Operating a nonapproved toilet (or-as the law now reads-even being seasick over the side) is a misdemeanor that carries a $100 fine or 60 days in jail, or both...
