...without nerves. Ambrose Flaherty, 46, an advertising salesman for the Boston Globe, likes to prepare huge, rich meals for his family and friends. But, he maintains, "it's pure recreation. It's a great outlet for my energy and, besides, we're very gregarious." One recent feast for ten chez Flaherty featured roast suckling pig, stuffed goose, boiled lobsters, marinated mushrooms and Karen Flaherty's raspberry bombe and walnut cake...

Alan's final, crazed musings, spoken at a time when he is an official Xixi tribesman, are about art, music, culture, myth and their relationship to the Xixi, and the quiche at Chez Jean. His experiences in the Qatab jungles have changed him and skewed his thinking, but he is still only six months out of Harvard and his dream appears to be bringing his Xixi wife back to grad school in Cambridge with him. Although most of Native Intelligence takes place in Latin America it is really mostly about Harvard; its point has to do with setting forth...
