...Sirs, honorary degrees! Surely Harvard cannot shirk its duty to future historians, its duty to choose from among the many those few worthy of its recognition and their attention. Surely it would be unseemly for a great university to bury its head in the sands of the past and neglect history's need for its wise and discriminating guidance.

...gets progressively unzippered emotionally, The Caretakers also goes melodramatically berserk. One patient chokes to death in neglect, one attendant is strangled by an inmate, and a lecherous doctor who impregnates a nymphomaniac patient has his skull crushed by the woman's husband. Such aphrodisiac antics strongly suggest that Author Telfer's characters-the sick as well as the supposedly healthy-need a 72-hour cool-off in Hydro.

On an antique road network, pocked by decades of neglect and choked by 8,500,000 cars and trucks passing relentlessly through one narrow village after another, most drivers consider themselves Barney Oldfields if they can occasionally push speedometers over 30 m.p.h., and they get their thrills by passing on curves or parking on them...
