Meanwhile a woman in a nearby apartment building stands staring wistfully out of her window. She is looking at the beach and wondering when had it become so unsafe for single women to take a moonlight walk by themselves.

She had been to a movie this evening, starring Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. Where has the romance gone? Why don't people treat others with the civility they deserve? She had thought about a moonlight walk on the beach when she left the theatre. But, there was a lone man on the beach. Better not, she thought, as there have been two rapes on the beach this year, and it was just April.
