McCurdy has the sense of humor of a leprachaun, and it pervades the team. One-liners seem almost to outnumber leglifts and situps at the main training cabin. Witness sophomore Reed Eichner, collapsed on the couch, his face screwed up in pain after a morning run that hit him harder than the others. "It's hot in here, h-o-o-o-t," Eichner moaned langourously...
Carter's suit coat is draped over the arm of the couch, the label up: "Hart Schaffner & Marx, A. Cohen & Sons, Americus, Ga." The walls ripple with impressionism. Behind his chair is Childe Hassam's Flag Day, and to his right another Hassam, Old House at Easthampton.

That has not deterred him from making some sweeping generalizations in diagnosing Nixon's alleged "emotional illness." For much of his life, Abrahamsen argues, Nixon has been "totally lacking in joy," "unable to form a healthy relationship with anyone" and "incapable of making a firm commitment based on personal conviction." (The latter is fortunate, Abrahamsen says; if the man had any strongly held ideals, he would have been much more dangerous.) Abrahamsen fairly raids the professional lexicon of disorder in describing Nixon: he is variously...
