Our inconsistencies do not lurk in the shadows, but stand openly in broad daylight. They exist not only "out there" on a national level, but right here at Harvard as well. Why does a University which expends so much energy recruiting MidWesterners, football players, and alumni children fail to meet affirmative action guidelines?

Epstein is at his best with fresh comic perceptions of growing up absurd in a multiparent home. He is at his weakest in describing Billy's moony infatuation with Zizi, which leads to the novel's adolescent denouement...
