At present Curval was Head of the Institute, his reputation as the leading experimental geneticist of his age unchallenged.

But Curval, good as he was, wasn't good enough, not when it was a question of squaring-up to death.

Queequeg's back, Curval had called it once, for some reason, and that came back to Lever now, making him frown, then shake his head, as if to deny what had happened here.

The parking lot was packed with Corvettes, and inside she found Phil Stone, Ted Curval, and a few of their ex-military cronies, already working methodically through pitchers of Bud.
