Using an unusual strategy. B.C. tossed the puck into position while their wings charged down the boards and into position. Gentlemanly play resulted in only two broken sticks for Harvard. The fast and flashy exchanges of the first period resulted only in a fluke goal...
Because Vonnegut's people do all things (including suicide) as a matter of course, the books move right along from event to event unimpeded by emotion (most of which we are left to intuit or fabricate from our own experience).
