...successor, Muzorewa, is a slight (5 ft.), mild-mannered man who is particularly popular with urban audiences. His garb can be flamboyant; at one campaign appearance he wore black trousers with yellow, red and green stripes and a coat of many colors. He is notoriously thin-skinned in dealing with rivals.

Sometime in the 1950s, he recalls, a professor emeritus "of vast age" disappeared into the stacks with coat and hat to read. Sometime later, one library staffer found just the coat and hat where the professor had been. "The rumors flew hot and heavy," Bryant remembers, but the professor had merely forgotten his things. Incidents of theft rattle his memory further. While Bryant was still a student, the story is told, a man stole thousands of books from the collection. The culprit was later caught...
