...geographically and morally?and who would not think of shooting the President or anyone else. When does the malcontent turn dangerous? When does the harmless kook become harmful? No one can know for sure. One of the costs of democracy is the fact that the dangerous social oddball can lurk anywhere at any time, waiting to act out his or her delusions...
...however, much of the credit belongs to O.C. Walker, who plays Jim O'Connor, the emissary from reality who is Laura's long-hoped for gentleman caller.

Once the heroes of a more feisty crew of students, these refugees from Bohemia stand as reminders of an alternatives approach to the Harvard education. Among the bars and cafes and magazine Kiosks shuffle the likes of Richard Henry Dana, one of the first of many undergraduates to exercise the option of the leaves of absence, by departing after his second year to spend two years before the mast and see the world.
