...right at home. The world of University manners becomes most surreal after a junior faculty member is not rehired. None of his colleagues mention it. "It's perfectly absurd," Klein laughed. "You've taught joint courses with these people, you've known them outside. Nothing is said. Not even, 'Gosh, that's too bad.' It's very strange." Thomson also marvelled at "the degree to which these things aren't spoken about," adding, "No one says, 'I'm sorry things didn't work...
...organizations seem to want the only slightly used campus. The trustees now are trying to sell it to the National Rifle Association or the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a conference center.

But you can't foresee every contingency. Gosh, the unexpected is half the fun of reunions...
...Gosh, all those folks at WWD sound as real and relevant as their product. Gee, how exciting and meaningful to wage "vendettas against designers" and fearlessly forecast skirt lengths. Wow, that kind of contribution to society must be ever so satisfying. Golly, when the world heals and we are free to abdicate our maturity, maybe we too can devote our second childhood to being cute, bitchy and frivolous...
