...Ness, a Jenner man: "What the governor had in mind was a plan that appealed primarily to the executive or the industrialist. He had a government graph here which would have been excellent for a big corporation. Now, you know, you don't change state government overnight to fit a graph." Craig's answer...
...destroyed. At the present rate, rather than dying out, the stereotypes cannot help perpetuating themselves. A student who enters a House hoping to find a party atmosphere, for example, will naturally help liven the festive air already there. Freshmen who dislike a House's label because they do not fit it will apply else-here.

There have been innumerable times since leaving the institute when...
...before the Flamingo, but the Flamingo is the big race on his schedule, and he is ready. "He's a good-built horse," says Mr. Fitz. "He's made perfect." If the old man has any worry at all, it is not that Nashua may not be fit, but that Boston Doge (by The Doge out of Boston Lady) may be faster. A cheeky contender from the wrong side of the tracks, the Beantown Bullet is as much of a surprise to his owner as he is to the public. A year ago, before Boston Doge had been...
