...first notice him standing under a single fluorescent light in a back corner of the shadowy basement night club. His black raincoat is still buttoned to the collar, and a battered brown guitar case hangs at his side...
Radcliffe girls now ride to the hounds at the Millwood Hunt Club in Concord. Before a Cliffie is allowed to ride out she must have trained with the Radcliffe riding program, get the approval of the instructor, and pay $160.
