1984 interview with Detective Robert Keppel (regarding the Green River Killer)
you ask. "Well, I'll get more," he says. Just as at cricket, you get more runs. There's no use in the runs, but to get more of them than other people is the game.

Not a street of it! It is a great city of play; very nasty play and very hard play, but still play.
