...loot and license the recruits will enjoy: cattle, Maseratis, naked girls, the opportunity to break children's arms and inform on innocents. At last they are persuaded, and go off to conquer the world. It is not long, of course, before the world conquers them.

Raoul Bott, professor of Mathematics, who like Mendelsohn must send effort reports to the NSF, concurred, adding that "these things compromise our integrity...
...Raoul Bott, professor of Mathematics who, incidentally, directed Smale's doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan some fifteen years ago, and five others whose names were withheld from the press, sent a letter yesterday to the director of the NSF, Leland J. Haworth. In it, Bott referred to what he called "political pressures" which affected the NFS's decision to reject Smale's request for a continuation of his present grant...

He also gets some gross guffaws with Joyce's dirty jokes, among them Molly's assertion that oral sex practices can cause a woman to grow a mustache. As for the people who read the roles, most of them are recruited from the Abbey Theater, and they ring true as Irish shillings-particularly Actor O'Shea, whose Bloom...
