pocky chap my age -- paid no attention to my question; his eyes were fixed on the self-styled Grand Tutor, and his expression was transfigured. I inquired of several people near the box-office (to which more crowds were swarming, the news apparently having spread) whether they'd seen a small white-bearded old man in a mohair wrapper, but got nothing for my troubles except frowns and mocking replies -- until a stout campus policeman, one of a number endeavoring to keep the crush from getting out of hand, shouted over his shoulder: "Spielman? You his lawyer or something?"
I declared that Dr. Spielman was my advisor.
"Don't takehis advice!" the policeman laughed. "He's yonder in the pokey, under arrest!"
He could not be bothered with explanation. Stunned, I made my way across the street to an office labeledCAMPUS PATROL - GREAT MALL SUB-STATION , and learned from a uniformed reception-clerk with yellow hair and a large red face that Max was in Main Detention, charged with the shooting of Herman Hermann.
"That isn't so! Max doesn't believe in hurting people! It's some trick of Maurice Stoker's!"
