Winding your way down into the basement of Thayer Hall, you stumble upon a carpeted beehive of activity which acts as the nexus for HSA's 11 agencies, each run by a separate student manager. In total, these 11 agencies employ about 1400 students bartending, catering, driving linen trucks, delivering refrigerators, writing travel guides, or, if a new project moves out, acting as Boston-Cambridge couriers for Harvard administrators. Student managers, hired selectively through a system of "posted" openings for which anyone can apply, earn an average of $4000 a year. HSA pays more student wages than any other student...

The sticking point is the novels themselves, in which Greeley seems bent upon airing the dirtier linen of the church he professes to love and serve. Not only do Greeley's Cardinals sin, but lower prelates, priests and parishioners are awash in anger and avarice, deceit and envy, pride and lust-especially lust. Greeley pleads that his novels are not so much about sex as about...
Shortly before 6, the dining room at Le Français has reached a state of burnished perfection. Above, dark wood beams and bronze chandeliers. Below, fresh flowers, crisp linen, the gleam of silver and crystal. Doris Banchet, the German-born wife of the chef, appears by the entrance in a chic black dress adorned with a golden rooster brooch, "the sign of good cuisine," she explains. Now it is the waiters, formal in their tuxedos, who take over, announcing the program and pacing the elaborate performance. The first guests arrive: James and Judy Horn, a pair of young Chicago...
