'I just love America, especially the drug stores and ice cream parlors. We don t have anything like them in England. Most of all I love the freeways. I was terri fied of them at first, but now I find them thrilling. And I was amazed at the men riding around in cars with big signs identifying them as 'sheriffs.' I thought sher iffs only lived in olden days." "Agahh," cried the press agent, pushing away from the table. John had poured water on him. "One of these days pow. You're going to get slugged." "You'd better behave." Mrs. Mills admonished. "I have to go to the men's room," John said, running for the door. "I have to get back to the set," Hayley announced.
