Defence of the Classics
In John Mortimer, "Rumpole and the Right to Silence," Rumpole
à la Carte (Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1990), pp. 80-120, barrister Horace Rumpole figures out that Martin Wayfield, professor of Classics at Gunster University, has murdered Vice-Chancellor Hayden Charles, because the latter planned to eliminate the Classics program at the University.
If plans are afoot to shut down the Classics Department at your university, I don't recommend that you resort to such a drastic measure, mind you.
Hat tip: Mrs. Laudator.
