...brisk spring mornings, once again convinced that the world is essentially round, and its Creator in His appointed place. Humming a measure or two from Mendelssohn, one crosses Mt. Auburn Street, headed Yard-wards. But as one's gaze falls on the new University Parking Place, the smile of joy is likely to vanish from one's face...
