...will you remember about your senior year at Harvard? The gloom of December when the war got worse, when draft calls increased, when your thesis tumbled from your frostbitten fingers like a heavy stone, and the future looked as dead as the icy eyes on a frozen pigeon which lay in the trash, claws outstretched, stiff, scratching the clouds--too cold to even interest the maggots...
