...Lowell House in the first place, Three Thirty Six doesn't offer much assistance. Even worse are its vignettes of House life, which sound as if they are describing a string of Holiday Inns. Take Eliot House, for example: "Along with a fine physical setup--rooms, courtyard, grill, etc.--there seems to be a new spirit among the residents." Or perhaps you prefer North House: "North House may well be the most together house in the university." So visit. Harvard, where tired students unwind...
...followed by vanilla ice cream and cake. A Hughes aide would appear in the kitchen and watch to make sure that Schenk scrubbed his hands and fingernails. "I would cook his steak with a stop watch," Schenk recalls. "He wanted it medium rare, eight or nine minutes of the grill. He'd notice if it was a minute overdone."

The fact that that last line is meant to get a knowing laugh should give you some idea...
...quality of American life-or lack of same. Baseball becomes a game for middle America; "a slow, uneventful review of existence, it serves to reinforce the dull." A visit to an artificial flavoring factory is virtually a confrontation with the war makers, while a sandwich at the Harvard Garden Grill turns into an exercise in peoples's art. With the major exception of Tom Wolfe, few American journalists-and this book is a very personal journalism-have payed proper attention to the textures of bourgeois culture. But Rosen was weaned on trade names and has never forgotten...
