Realizing this, the University should attempt to duplicate House advantages as much as possible. The problem of a homogeneous Boston group might be relieved if some students in the Houses who wished to experiment with low-cost cooperative living were to be included in the residence. Some geographic sprinkling could thus be achieved. Furthermore, as many graduate student tutors as possible should be attracted into the cooperative houses.

The saying may or may not be authentic, but its barbed humor especially befits the century in which the high cost of living has been surpassed only by the higher cost of staying alive. Authors Meray and Stirling take a Communist Party bureaucrat and a teen-age refugee girl, respectively, and evoke contrasting symbols of 20th century corruption and redemption...
