		You are a low little crook.” Ten days later, Martin similarly ended Fabrikant’s summation, which he had turned into a filibuster, reading into the record every interminable memo and letter he’d ever exchanged with Concordia, comparing himself with the boys who’d been raped at Mt. Cashel and with a battered woman who shoots her husband.
		Fabrikant said he was a dissident who had recently fled the Soviet Union where he’d been an associate professor; he had a Ph.D., was a former student of a distinguished scientist whose work Sankar knew and admired, and he had published a number of scientific papers.
		Fabrikant had research of his own to get on with, theoretical work related to mechanical elasticity, the study of how materials react to stress.

		Fabrikant, who murdered four Engineering staff members in 1991, had long shown signs of erratic and dangerous behaviour, according to the report.
		The Arthurs report reluctantly admits Fabrikant was right, noting evidence that he collaborated with three other engineering profs in the submission of the same academic paper to several different academic journals.
		Both reports paint Fabrikant as a vicious, hurtful man. "What is missing is any indication that Dr. Fabrikant ever feels or expresses any compassion about, concern for, or even interest in the well-being (or existence, for that matter) of any other adult human being," Cowan writes.
