...back who turn out to be practitioners of voice-over chic, tenderly broadcasting all the half-baked thoughts they ever half-understood about Fellini. Dial a phone number and the absent owner's talking machine coughs a set piece of cuteness before granting a moment for you to interject a brief message. As for bridge players, the typical foursome hardly finishes the play of a hand before the air burbles with a redundant rehashing...
...exercised homeowners interject. "They may not be that high now, but they're going up all the time. We've got to stop it somehow." Indeed, Cantabrigians, who got their tax bills during the last two weeks, must have been rudely shocked. The tax rate last year was near $188 per thousand.

The author is outraged. He is also surrounded. His sophomore history tutor, he says, is a Marxist. The tutor is quoted as uttering such realistic phrases as: "Jesus, how heavy, how heavy, how incredibly relevant and heavy," and, better tailored to LeBoutillier's needs: "America the Beautiful my ass. It should be America the home of fascism...
