Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Asphalt Campus, 1963
The doctor contained his patience in the traffic hiving for the George Washington Bridge. A man of distinguished bearing behind the wheel, he enjoyed the animal thrust of his trusted Oldsmobile. For a poised fraction of time his eyes flicked to his watch, a paring of mellow shadow, no more, on the still tanned wrist. Eight forty-three. He should be into Manhattan well before the hour. What dry autumnal countryside there was, visible between the serialized split-levels here, slipped past his window like the flicker of an undone film. With the mildest contusion of tires he moved into his lane, picking up speed a little, ready to turn off into Grand Boulevard with maximum efficiency. It was the second day of term at Lincoln College and Dr. Orrin Bunch had not been known to be late for a class in twenty seven years.
