Excerpt from They Talked to a Stranger
But underneath the somewhat cynical exterior is a warm, compassionate and sympathetic heart. So, when he set out to interview a number of boys who were in deep trouble with society and the law, he was able to get at not merely the bare chronicle of their lives but also the deeper realities of environment, motives and aims.
The boys could not fool him and they knew that basically he was on their side. He was questioning them not for head lines but for understanding. Somehow, he was able to get the boys to talk fully and frankly. The result is unique.
