...Audrey L. Watson '86, who transfered from North House to Quincy, says her primary reason for leaving was to join friends in Quincy. "I disliked the social atmosphere of the House," she says of North, although she liked individuals in the House...
...first complaints about Harbor Lawn came three years ago, when Audrey Cooper, 72, received a burial urn containing what she thought was the ashes of her husband William. A family friend named Jerry Read, who had once worked for Harbor Lawn but quit in disgust, told the widow that the remains were not her husband's.

"Sheik" Capadilupo (Vincent Spano) is Italian and shiftless, with Vaselined hair and a wardrobe that Giorgio Armani might have designed for Jimmy ("the Weasel") Fratianno. She loves rock 'n' roll, he loves Sinatra. She's going to Sarah Lawrence, he's going nowhere. They have nothing in common but an over whelming love for her. But something in Jill thrills to the troubles Sheik gets himself into and to the threat he poses to her middle...
