...want to say that we are working hard to keep the school clean, but we need something back to support our families," custodial crew chief Freud Saint-Cyr told the crowd...
Webster Groves has made a conscious decision to try to control the weather. The school would much rather prevent a disaster than clean up after one--which means that a child who so much as murmurs a threat toward himself or a teacher or another student is immediately under the microscope. But still the tempests come. "Drinking is the biggest problem," says police captain Doug Jacobs, class of '59, "and the parents that allow it." A child from a prominent family has a beer-and-booze party in the backyard while Mom and Dad are not home. There...
...connect that he makes you want to give him a hug. "I don't want to tell you what's on my mind," he says constantly. "I want to show you what's in my heart"--and you get the idea he'd like to rip the thing clean out of his breast, just to prove he has one. What's fascinating is that this all shows signs of working.

Because Harvard pays so little, few janitors can afford to live in the community in which they work. Many have difficulty paying rent and buying food for their families. It's almost impossible to find a single janitor at Harvard who does not depend on a second source of income. Most, if not all, Harvard janitors work two and even three jobs--as many as 80 hours per week--and still struggle...
