...name is Elizabeth Gibb, and I am the President of the Harvard Law School Child Care Center. My husband is Cabot Associate Professor in Biology Markus Meister. He spoke at the FAS faculty meeting, April 8, on the issue of day care and particularly our Law School Center's eminent closing. Thank you very much for publicizing our crisis.

...Katy Gibb is one of the better comic creations to come along in recent fiction, a moody, slovenly girl whose main weapon in life's wars is a brazen will. Bland, a decent soul at sea without his job, never does learn how she found out that the apartment across the hall from his was vacant during the tenants' vacation. She makes it her squat and him her quarry. Her national origin is never clear, nor does her array of vowel sounds provide much of a hint. But her spiritual roots are in California.
