...drives on the Boston bank which would fill in the present gap between Bay State Road and Otter St. The new drive would pass under the arches of the Harvard and Longfellow bridges and would thus give a continuous road which, after crossing Cambridge St., Brighton, at the end of the River St. bridge at grade, will have no other crossing at grade until it reaches the 'end of the Charles River Dam where it connects with Nashua St., which is now being widened. This is a clear run of nearly four miles without danger to pedestrians who are fenced...
...cane and truck growing in low black muck, heard politicians wisecrack about the election and fish for federal aid. At Palm Beach he was feted at the Bath and Tennis Club.

...Bangkok, or Valparaiso to attend with his class-mates a few days of reunion near the Charles is latent in the man who sleeps obviously through the exercises heralding his farewell to Harvard, latent but almost never nonexistent. The very man who attempted through ennui to turn over a Brighton street car the night his Spread dance is found in the forefront of his class five years later hurling confetti at the Stadium jumping pits. The ritual of departure, prolonged as it may seem to the Senior, is the creation of men who have realized its too actual brevity when...
