“Hey, Dad, I just came from the new neighbor's house; they say Ashtabula High School’s the place to go. “Ashtabula? Is that the one on West 44th? “I'm not sure. It’s uptown somewhere. “Yea. that’s what I thought. You can just forget about going there. “Aw, Dad. How come?” “I was just reading in the STAR BEACON that that school just had five of its students picked up for possession of marijuana at lunch time!” “Every school has a drug problem. From what I’ve heard, there are schools in the area a lot worse off than Bula - that’s what they call it for short.” “1 don't care if they call it heaven for short. I was talking to some people. too, and from what I’ve heard, you can just forget about Boo Boo, or Bula, or whatever it's called.” What else have you heard?” “1 was talking to that old man a-cross the street “How often does he get to the high school? He barely gets to the end of his front porch. “He reads the paper, though. He says that they’ve had an article in there about a teacher being assaulted and a whole series of articles about the girls' basketball team wrecking some other school’s lockers.

And guys like the one across the street took them and labeled the kids from Bula hoodlums.” “The paper can only report the facts. Son. “1 know. Dad. but there are also a lot of good facts that are in the paper that I bet that guy didn’t tell you about.” “ Well, the paper’s not the only reason you're not going there. “What else is there?” They Only Report The Facts' 2 Introduction
