1:37:01
Why? Just because
he's written a book about birds?
1:37:04
No. No, not because of that.
1:37:07
Because, with only
a third-grade education,
1:37:11
he's become expert
in subjects like haematology -
1:37:15
that's blood.
1:37:17
Histology - tissue. Anatomy.
1:37:22
Studies tough enough with an instructor
in college, but self-taught in a cell,
1:37:26
an accomplishment
that staggers imagination.
1:37:29
He's smart. He has a high IQ.
1:37:33
He's more than that. He's dedicated.
1:37:35
He's spent over 3,000 hours
at that microscope of his,
1:37:39
made hundreds of drawings,
over 5,000 tissue sections.
1:37:43
He has one of the finest collections
of slides on birds in existence.
1:37:46
knows more about avian anatomy
and pathology than any man alive.
1:37:51
OK. I'll recommend his book
go to the publisher's.
1:37:55
Make the bird-lovers happy.
1:38:00
If Stroud's paroled and gets a laboratory,
there's no telling what he might do.
1:38:05
He should be working on
human diseases, not birds'.
1:38:08
Paroled? Not much chance of that.
1:38:13
I thought his record was good.
1:38:15
Not in the eyes of the bureau.
1:38:18
His attitude is poor.
He thinks he's a world unto himself,
1:38:21
like we were his own
personal quartermaster corps.
1:38:25
Chemicals,
laboratory equipment, birdseed.
1:38:30
Now he's demanding 25lbs of ice
every day. It's got to stop someplace.
1:38:34
I'd give him 500lbs of ice
a day if he wanted it.
1:38:38
You would, huh?
1:38:41
I wonder if the bureau
isn't afraid of Stroud.
1:38:44
Afraid to let the public know what kind of
a brain they're keeping locked up here.
1:38:48
Doctor, we're keeping
a killer locked up here.
1:38:51
Don't forget it.
1:38:54
I heard from that professor,
the one at the university of Kansas.
1:38:57
He said if I were out, I might have
a good chance to get a research grant.
