But the bottom line is they're going in to a scene that hasn't even been established as a crime scene. They have to collect evidence so that later, if they need to, they can go back and make sense...
Looking back, Roth sees a pattern to his work: "Ever since Goodbye, Columbus, I've been drawn to depicting the impact of place on American lives. Portnoy's Complaint is very much the raw response to a way of life that was specific to his American place during his childhood in the '30s and '40s.

It is certainly not the social consciousness that drove the original hippy...
Much of this lack of respect may come from the recent tendency of Carolina to look outward for its leaders. While for most of its history, the leaders of Carolina were nearly always North Carolinians and Carolina graduates, this pattern has recently shifted—neither Carolina’s current chancellor nor its provost had spent any substantial time in Chapel Hill before their selection. Such a change means that Carolina’s administrators never have gotten the chance to see the uniqueness of the town and may only see the town as a hindrance to their expansion...
