...Pierce, while they are still foaming at the corners of their reconstructed mouths with the salivary marshmallow of their Bailey's sundaes, they decide to duck into a movie so they can haul off their heels for a bit. Then, over on Washington Street, you see the higher level of the Combat Zone clientele: the pimply teenagers, the drifters, the sailors and their girls. The Savoy has the finest interiors of any Sack Theatre. It shows the lowest quality films...

Most of us just don't read that quickly. Imam, himself, argues that keeping up with reading during the term takes so much of a student's time that he has none left for extracurricular life. Probably neither of these major contentions can be true; statistically they cannot both...
