A bowling alley was the biggest draw for teenagers, and Mr. Markoff was avid enough to practice there daily. He was so intent on being a good bowler that, unsatisfied with the grip, he had his bowling ball redrilled.
“Everything had to be just so,” said one childhood friend.
AND:
"We were surrounded by such a left-wing student body, and he was more like me: he didn’t really share those sentiments,” said one classmate, Jonathan Zierler, who said he had accompanied Mr. Markoff on the trip. “He was a traditionalist as far as things like men and women’s roles in society. He was a throwback from a more conservative era."

Lesson learned: Never trust anyone who has their own bowling ball.
A word to the wise: I'd keep an eye on Mr. Zierler.
Questions: Did Mr. Markoff really discuss his views on sex roles in modern society with Mr. Zierler? That must have been enlightening. And, specifically what "more conservative era" is Mr. Zierler referring to?
