Bazarov, Again

[Michael Denner]

Dear SEELANGers,

I hope it comes as no surprise that Prof. Maxwell  -- our friend at Drake
who has decided to axe the foreign language departments -- is a student of
Russian literature. Perhaps he acquired his managerial philosophy from dear
Bazarov, who remarks in Chapter 21 to Arkady: "Once you've decided to mow
everything down, you might as well strike off your own legs as well."
(Really, what a peculiarly RUSSIAN idea, in the Berdiaev-ian sense.)

That sentiment had its logical and unavoidable conclusion for Mr. Bazarov,
as I expect it will for Maxwell. He had best watch his needle while
performing surgery...
