...with the lithe image. Moura Allbright, Hooper's sister-in-law, returns to the city with a desire to locate the unknown father of her son. Some 15 years before, she conceived after two years of copulating with a masked inseminator who had been eugenically selected at a "contact clinic." Fizzy, Moura's biologically tailored offspring, is the liveliest illustration of Theroux's future shock. He combines scientific genius with an arrogant and obnoxious mouth.

The Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) will provide transportation to UHS without any questions and whether or not a police report is filed. If a report is made, it is not a commitment to file charges or to testify in court.
