...have murdered a fellow undergrad, who just happens to be their professor's son, and stuffed the body in a trunk. Brandon and Granillo have no real motives for the crime. They do it for the sheer thrill of murder, coupled with their own arrogance and plenty of neo-Nietszchean philosphizing...
UNIONDALE, N.Y.--On the afternoon of May 24, 1980, one could fairly describe the 14,995 frenzied supporters of the New York Islanders in Nietszchean terms.
