Even worse, Lamont's interloping secondhand technique results in some slanderous inaccuracies. For example, Lamont scorns a professor at Brown who taught students about espionage but "never asked (the students) to consider the morality of it all."

...Lyman sees her efforts on Radcliffe's behalf not as altruism, but as testimony to the usefulness of her own education. "It has truly helped me," she says, "in solving the problems of my own life. I don't know what I would have done without it. I only hope we can continue to fulfill the same role in the lives of young women...
