...That’s the secret, really. Don’t write out “TIME!!!” in inch-high scrawl—it only brings out the sadist in us. Don’t (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks—we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page—single bluebook finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably...

So they got Tenzing aside, and they really batted away at him and I think they frightened him to death, quite frankly. And he, even though he couldn't at that stage read or write, signed a document which they presented to him, which indicated he had got to the top first. As he said afterwards, he had no idea of what he was signing. It really was quite an uncomfortable time. In the end Tenzing and I agreed that...
