For Josephine Baumann, 71, a retired cook with the face of Edith Bunker, the trip to Bally's Park Place on a recent Wednesday is a welcome -- and cheap -- respite from arthritis, television and the addicts and prostitutes on her midtown Manhattan block.

The Dutch women may have deserved an award for the most medals from the smallest country: a total of six, including Petra Van Staveren...
...Baumann's home is filled with Harvard--memorabilia--photographs, scrapbooks full of newspaper clippings, and hundreds of cards and letters. Included in the stacks is a bulging packet of notes from Karim Aga Khan '59, the spiritual leader of the Pakistani Islamic sect, music composed by Joseph Raposo '58, articles by Eugene Bell, and a book by poet David McCord '56 autographed "To my friends Elsie and Henry, who made Cambridge a better city...
