This and other paraphernalia in The Devil Is Driving-an airshaft into which a sedan topples, a narrow two-way ramp full of blind corners-make it a peculiarly stagey exposé.

Wearing always a low stiff collar and an oldtime high-cut jacket, he carries like all good Bostonians a green bookbag, is always accompanied by "Phantom," a blind old spaniel that has to be guided across busy streets by the crook of Dr. Lowell's cane. Harvardmen know that their "Prexy" is rich, resolute, articulate, astringent; an authority on political science and campanology (the science of bells); A Lowell of Lowells, brother of the late Astronomer Percival...
