WANDERING about Harvard Square in search of cheap eats can be a demoralizing experience, especially for those afflicted with an acidic burning in the inner linings of their stomachs late at night. By now, even freshmen have learned that the Square's high rents mean places like Au Bon Pain can get away with charging you four bucks for a lame, lumpy and lazy sandwich...
...Atlantic Foods. Streams of post-retirement-age couples wandered through with armfuls of catfood and spaghetti, looking unworried about the future of Social Security. A few young office folks pulled up their striped cuffs to scoop sprouts and avocados from the salad bar. Then came a guy with Bon Jovi hair and a black, flapping fringe coat; I didn't actually see what he bought, but it was heavy and clinked.

Realizing how little you are actually qualified to do is the first eye-opener. If you needed work--now--if Mommy and Daddy died abruptly (and--why not--violently), without a will, and Harvard disintegrated into a moldy pile of fellowship applications and GRE pamphlets, who would hire...
