...there, 45 minutes after the start of last Wednesday's 7 a.m. shift at the Sumitomo Electric Fiber Optics Corp., that Ladislav Antalik, 38, from the former Czechoslovakia, turned his bile into a bloody mess. Antalik's behavior was not a complete surprise to those who knew him. He was a loner and, some say, not very good at his job; he had chafed under a female supervisor.

...totem pole, Expos faculty would be on the part that is under the ground, but it is still the Harvard totem pole. It's all downhill from here. The thought of having to teach more students for less money at a place like (God forbid!) Boston College causes the bile to rise. And guess who becomes the chief focus of all that anger...
