...surprisingly, John Reed's degree--awarded on schedule in 1910--was non-honors. Only instruction from one teacher of creative writing seriously competed with his extra-curricular pursuits during his entire four years at college. An impromptu discussion and dinner conversation by an unknown professor--who turned out to be William James--afforded him ample party talk...
...always feel this way. For a long time I believed that if I looked hard enough, I would find activities and experiences here which would be enlightening and enjoyable. So freshmen and sophomore years I explored. I stumbled between extra-curricular activities.

The reader can only conclude that Larson really didn't care that much. Women slain in Seattle blur with women bludgeoned, stripped, and abandoned in Salt Lake City, Aspen, and Tallahassee. As the stock descriptions accumulate we get only a sense of the growth of the pile. Death...
