The opening of the speech didn't have quite the impact that Bill expected. Bgr had told him that this speech was guaranteed, start to finish. It had been carefully constructed by the Chinger computerized speech-writing program. But there was no shock of recognition electrifying the crowd. “Friends, Humans, Eyerackians, lend me your sneers. I come to borrow Grotsky, not to raise him!” A few more people were paying attention now, but they didn't look particularly excited. One of them, following instructions, did sneer though. They must have been a pretty impressionable lot. “Vice in defense of liberty is no extremism!” This was supposed to be a rousing speech, but only a few of the students in the quad looked roused at all, and those seemed to be paying more attention to students of the opposite sex than to Bill. Bill didn't really understand that, but he didn't really understand most of the speech, either.
