When the door was lifted and somebody announced that all was clear, it usually would still be raining. Nobody bothered to carry me back to our house. I had to walk back barefoot in the mud, get a pan and wash the sticky red stuff off my feet. It was hard to wake me up for school the next morning...

One member of Harvard's class of 1978 tossed on his bed all night before a math final, imagining himself as King Richard in Ivanhoe, doomed to a perpetual spear-throwing contest in which he always had to outdistance his opponents or suffer death...
