...Park did deal with it, not with pen or mouth but with performance, and his silent, business-like approach to off-season criticism was rousingly successful. Park truly "did his job" as he had always done it at Harvard; emphasizing speed, pitching and defense, and seasoning it with his natural enthusiasm.

An official shouted 'stop him!' the student was tackled, and the mystery was solved: as the corpulent criminal went flying, his coat flew open, and enough pens to staff the Pentagon came flying out, blissfully freed. Psychiatrists were summoned to the scene when it was proved that the fanatical pen-depositer was actually a crazed grad student, seeking revenge upon the institution on which he had fed in the only way he knew: sabotage...
