up Prof. Schoolland’s character by saying, “As soon as Ken sits
down in any given place long enough, a child is going to come up
to him from somewhere and want to sit on his lap, or a teenager is
going to come by and want him for a game of basketball.” Such is
the author of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market
Odyssey.
