He has no right, under the circumstances, to deny that the Fuzzies be referred to as 'people. This is tantamount to insisting that the witness speak of them as nonsapient animals." It went on like that for five minutes. Jack began doodling on a notepad. Baby picked up a pencil with both hands and began making doodles too.
