Carl Sagan made quite the name for himself at Harvard before being caught and fired.

Did he have "billions and billions" of Coeds?

I believe you once told me that you were an undergraduate student of Sagan's at Cornell. Your story has that Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato quality to it. I suppose is might even be vero. I worked with a Cornell PhD a few years behind Sagan, who knew Sagan when they were both graduate students, and who had done a post-doc at Arecibo. My colleague, hardly a rumor monger, recalled that Sagan would fly into Aricebo, drink some rum and Coke and play volleyball with the coeds. Such are the toils of those in the groves of Academe.
