“I turned around. Two Irkrmrian soldiers were standing behind me. They were oversided, overmuscled and overvicious. Their mothers must have suffered terrible pain during their birth. They had no guns, but they did not need any. Booth looked as if nature had drilled them to kill. That meant that the Irkrmrians had left guards behind. And that meant that the statue was just a statue. And that meant trouble for me.”

“Vicious tackles — the ones which you hear all over the stadium, and which make the back teeth of the spectators in the top row rattle—are the most fun. Two years ago Art Franks, the Navy quarterback, hit Columbia’s Sid Luckman so hard you could almost hear Luckman’s bones crunch. Everyone thought it overvicious except Luckman. Like the rest of us, Luckman knows that football is a hard-hitting game.”
