De Rham on occasion has met ressistance. In New York City, a boy's school staged a sit-down strike against him. In Connecticut an entire class of younger children began bawling before he even entered the classroom. Once a girl actually bit him. Parents pose a constant vexhation. The amazing thing about de Rham is not that he has hard goingm but that he is going at all. The fact is that he is going strong. He is a man to the manners (not mannor) born. "De Rhams are de Rhams," he is fond of saying.

De Rham describes a challenge to his thesis. Pip?? Rock Club on Long Island a group of boys brole into open rebellion. They pelted de Rham with spitballs as he entered the club and let the air out of tirs on his car. Then, just as the class began, one of them turned off the main light switch. De Rham turned the lights back on and picked out the ring leader of the group. He demanded the boy take everything out of his pockets. The boy stood his ground. I ??? and do it," he said. De Rham dove for a quick wrestling hold. He came up with the miscreant, holding him by his feet. He proceeded to shake from his pockets a water pistol, a bean shooter, and a sling shot.
