They were men, with money troubles, women troubles, all kinds of troubles. They were also cops, part of the new breed who had to deal with the unrest and violence of a society coming apart all around them."

The New Centurions By Joseph Wambaugh |
|
"Three men. Serge Duran, the tough, competent ex-Marine who
learned everything fast -- except how to escape his Chicano identity. Gus
Plebesly, the baby-faced youth who was tops at entrapping prostitutes, and painfully
unsure of his own manhood. Roy Fehler, who liked to think of himself as a
liberal, until he came face to face with his own true feelings about blacks. They were men, with money troubles, women troubles, all kinds of troubles. They were also cops, part of the new breed who had to deal with the unrest and violence of a society coming apart all around them." |
