. . . is susceptible to nefarious corruption, pernicious manipulation and outright rigged outcomes, RAGS TO RICHES TO RAGS reveals. As is generally the case in Real Life, America's pestilent gambling disease infects J. Wellington Wimpy, prompting him to insinuate himself into the sports world as a crooked boxing referee. Though several science fiction writers have imagined breeds of humanoids who are incorruptible, in Real Life such beings are nonexistent. From the umpires who conspired with New York gamblers to fix the 1919 World Series to the many referees bribed by Chrysler and Cadillac to make up new bogus "rules" to forever prevent the Ford-owned Lions from getting a sniff of the Super Bowl, Real Life is rife with examples of blatant wrong-doing on a par with Wellington's RAGS misconduct.
