Version 1. Gayle Robinson, seventeen year old daughter of Samuel Robinson, disappeared from her home five days ago. Miss Robinson left no note, but she did take a suitcase and some clothing. According to her distraught parents, the girl had about twenty dollars when she left. Last night Mr. Robinson asked the police for assistance in finding his daughter. Mr. Robinson is a candidate for the City Council. He is scheduled to speak tonight at a Teenager in Politics meeting and expects to be there, indicating that while there was little he could do at the moment for daughter, there might be much he could do to inform other young adults of their political rights and responsibilities. Version 2. Last night several detectives talked to Samuel Robinson, a candidate for the City Council, about the sudden and strange disappearance of his seventeen year old daughter Gayle, who dropped out of sight five days ago. In her closet are dozens of skirts and designer jeans. The girl’s bank account was untouched; as was the "piggy bank," actually a Raggedy Ann, in which she has collected pennies and nickels since she was a little girl. Today the Robinson home is a restless, unhappy place. A friend of the missing girl whispered something about a quarrel between Gayle and her father. Gayle’s twelve year old brother Charles is lonely, and Mrs. Robinson’s eyes are red from crying. Mr. Robinson is scheduled to speak tonight at a political rally. When asked if he would keep the engagement, Mr. Robinson said emotionlessly, "Of course I’ll keep it." 1. What are the difference between the leads in these stories? 2.
