He would have gone on to the University of Dublin that year if his father, a journalist, hadn't unexpectedly landed a job with the Boston Globe. So Malin filed a late application to Harvard ("I know I got in no international distribution" he still says) and began developing the interest in the international student's situation which still unites the apparently incongruous facets of his work...

Other contrasts J Anthony Lukas '55, now a prize winning journalist, writes sensitively of Harvard's insularity from the rest of Cambridge and Boston, which he strives to overcome by reading and writing about tension between working-class Catholics and Yankee intellectuals. Robert Coles '50, professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities, discusses the same insularity, but his efforts at horizon-expansion culminate in a mealy-mouthed dpiphany in a drugstore, where a kind counter woman revives him after he faints, moving him to conclude, "There are some people in this world who don't need courses in Social Relations...
