en It's not really science-fiction, ... It's the world 30 years from
now, [a time] in which for 18 years no human child has been born, for unknown
reasons. Civilizations are falling apart. England is the last remaining
civilization as we know it, because it's an island that's insulated itself from
Europe, which is in civil wars and complete pandemonium. So the story takes

It was as bad a performance as we've had since the Lefty Mcfadden Tournament the first two games of the year [5-1 and 7-2 losses to Miami University and the University of Michigan, respectively]. The first two periods looked just like that. We looked like we didn't know what we were doing.

en James Joyce - an essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized.
