...most pleased yesterday to see that for the first time in a long long time someone took the time to state in a dignified and rational way some of the matters concerning the department. I refer, of course, to your THIRD PAGE and "counterpoint." Now I could nitpick about the placement of Professor Turner's article, but that would be senseless...

As evidence accumulated before Sheehan, it became increasingly apparent that Arnheiter was, in fact, a bit wacky, and the book took on the surreal character of a modern-day parody of Wouk's classic. Indiosyncracies built on idiosyncracies; unbalanced decisions by Arnheiter made other equally unbalanced ones seem more so. The men who had served under Arnheiter unhesitatingly sketched the picture of a self-possessed, unstable...
