...this for Shaun, though. He has a good, sidelong sense of humor ("There's always a job for me on The $20,000 Pyramid") and a startling foundation of hard sense.

Edelin at first appeared nervous or perturbed, but he is a verbal man and responded with lengthy and coherent answers. Alternately furrowing his brow, gazing down at the linoleum floor, or staring sidelong out through a window, Edelin usually paused before answering questions and displayed a calm bemusement when his attorney, the court typist, or the judge stumbled on his scientific terms. He usually called the fetus and placenta "the products of conception" in describing abortion technique, and these explanations lacked the graphic...
