Following a Carrabino defensive rebound and outlet pass to the sophomore point guard, Dixon held up the ball while the rest of the team ran down the floor. Six dribbles--two of which were between his legs--and two full pivots later, Dixon was in the middle of a crowded lane, apparently going to the basket...
...redundancy of the daily routine of eat, go to class, study, sleep. "All you do at Wellesley is study--it's taken for granted that you'll be in the library every night and on Sundays," Trippe says.

...robot's basic function is not to look or behave like a human being but to do a human's work, and for that it needs mainly a guiding brain (the computer) and an arm with claws for fingers.

The Robot Institute of America, an industrial trade group, therefore offers a contemporary, if somewhat prolix, definition of a robot...

The dialogue is slow and choppy, meant to give the audience information without letting word choice and phrasing reveal additional insight into the speakers. Characters rarely utter more than four words at a time, and there are precious few monologues. Benedict, Jordan and Agutter too often let the unexpected eye contact, the strained embrace, the angry removal of a tablecloth...
