...best thing about it all is the character of the professor, who puddles around quoting Zeno and being abstract, and turns out to be perceptive even about one or two of the details of everyday existence. Sex, for instance. His bland assertion of delightfully simple and complex statements is masterful...
...most dramatic push to Crimson efforts when, after being put into the starting lineup for the first time after the six-game losing streak, he proceeded to lead all scorers in the next five games, all Harvard victories. He is a pint-sized (5-7) junior guard, with the best set shot and dribbling techniques seen at the I.A.B. in many years.

The slender Richling jump-shoots, scores on driving layups and rebounds well from his backcourt position...

Murderers have by far the best parole record of any group of criminals, with less than one half of one per cent returning to prison. In addition, the over-whelming majority of criminals is totally reformed by the age of thirty-five; Leopold is now fifty-five...
