...proof came sophomore year in a tutorial with a senior professor (Steven's department was a small one). A five-page paper properly foot-noted with a perfectly indented bibliography was rewarded; where a classmate's similar paper, bereft of precision but original, was relegated to the B-minus doldrums...
Albert Brooks, a cherubic 26-year-old with a curly halo, has a softer approach in recounting his adventures as the opening act at Neil Diamond and Richie Havens concerts.

On the minus side, Senators Mike Gravel, William Scott and Vance Hartke were bunched together as "least effective." Some of the Senators were predictably pleased, others predictably outraged.
