THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
- (1934) Two early Alfred Hitchcock
thrillers make an excellent comblna-
my mind was that this was going
to be some corny stuff, like 'Say
no to drugs,' Flynn said. But, he
said, "the buyers are going to like
it. People have heard the 'gang­
sta' perspective. Now hear the
cops' perspective."
Flynn said 2,000 copies of the
album would be released while
he seeks wider distribution
through a major producer.
If identified, the officers could
be charged with conduct unbe­
coming an officer and could face
dismissal from the force.
"WE HAVE TO in some way
stop this, but then you have the
f peech issu ," said Margaret
Baylor, acting chairwoman of
th Board of Police Commission­
ers. "If they hav done some of
th things the lyrics indicate, or
ifth r is any evidence of wrong­
doing, we would treat it a
wrongdoing. "But just to say they
(made an album), I'm not rea lly
ure what w .can do about it,"
