Wilhite currently holds four Columbia career records. When he poled his eighth homer of the season in a 9-0 rout of St. John's he shattered the season record of seven set 65 years ago by a sophomore named Lou Gehrig. Sixty years from now Wilhite's glove may usurp the place presently occupied by Gehrig's dog-eared mitt, which is enshrined in Columbia's Butter Library...

...Watch," he said boldly, "five base hits." And every muscle in his 38-year-old body responded perfectly, cracking every pitch like a cherry bomb with blind precision. "Knock yaw glove off," he cracked drily...
...only for lunch, lab workers must pass through another air lock, strip off their protective clothing and then pass through a shower. At no time will the scientists involved in P-4 experiments come into direct contact with the materials under study. Those tests will be conducted inside "glove boxes," glass-fronted stainless steel cabinets fitted with shoulder-length rubber gloves that enable workers to manipulate the culture dishes, test tubes and microscopes mounted inside yet remain isolated from the experiment. The risk of any leakage will further be reduced by keeping air pressure inside the cabinets lower than that...
...materials used in P-4 experiments will be moved into the glove boxes through an air lock. Everything that leaves will pass through a steam sterilizer and a disinfectant bath; the very air in the boxes will flow through an incinerator before it is vented outside. Even if an altered organism escapes, it should pose no threat. All P-4 experiments must be conducted with a weakened strain of E. coli that cannot survive outside the special conditions...
