...internationally-famous Fletcher School of International Law and Diplomacy. When Tufts officially renamed itself a University last year (it had been Tufts College), it figured Fletcher was as much a part of the University as the undergraduate college. Fletcher, however, which has always considered itself governed by autonomous rule, refused to be incorporated and petitioned until the Tufts Administration gave in unofficially and took its name off the Fletcher stationery...

Boris is the first to voice his own guilt. He makes his shame explicit in introspections which he carries on at the top of his lungs. Most of the other actors are no more pretentious about the "dramatic" roles...
