...senior at the time of the Strike, it proved terribly difficult to unburden myself of the delusion inculcated by four years that my education was worth something). Perhaps he selflessly devoted his last three years to missionary work among those naive and misguided souls hurtling headlong into the depraved trap of intellectual achievement. He should in such a case be applauded, since be sacrificed his own purity (certainly his virtue would have been less compromised had he transferred to an unaccredited junior college, or more righteously still, quit altogether and thumbed his nose at academe) that others might be saved...
...tiny (209 sq. mi.) Pacific island of Guam, two fishermen last week pounced on a ragged, furtive little man whom they had spotted tending a fish trap in the Talofofo River, and turned him over to the police for questioning.

A true believer in movie-magazine ads and a windy, unpublished correspondent to any number of letters columns, she comes to Dionysus Villa as to an old-fashioned spa, to alleviate the hope that...
...family of the group, including the ratman and the rapists, come to take vengeance on the idiot. David won't give up his man. And, in his defense, and in defense of the sanctity of his own home, he kills them all: with a poker, a rifle, a poacher-trap on the neck...
