Now, the LSoE is adamant that the kid should’ve rounded up a decent Caper Crew: a Kasparov and a Cleric for planning, a Shifty Grifter and a Missus Doubtfire to get the ball rolling; and on the big day, at least two Schwarzeneggers, an Inspector Gadget, a first-rate Hacker-Cracker, and then, for the getaway, a Popeye Doyle and a Mary Poppins. . I have classmates who are still doing time from a botched mid-term. ---
