...lobby of the building someone gave me a Nantucket Nectar and told me to vomit. I walked outside the building with the drink in my wastebasket. There was no one around. White everywhere. The four of us had nowhere to go. I couldn't remember where I was. I walked toward the water. Police directed everyone north. I asked a woman next to me, "Where are we going?" She said, "I don't know." She had no dust. She looked so steady. I followed her. This was the beginning of her long protection...
...time we visit Lonergan’s Bar again the strike will be settled, 147 people in Co Louth will still have jobs and stout will be flowing from the taps. Guinness that is brewed, poured and served in the nation of its birth is a unique nectar, and my mother deserves at least one more half-pint...
This past summer I was in Cambridge again, and I discovered more treats I like to eat on my own. The pane romano with Nutella at Campo dei Fiori is a small strip of crusty, chewy Roman bread smoothed with creamy chocolate hazelnut European nectar, Nutella.

The charmed excess that once defined much of life at Harvard still finds a home in the Upstairs Bar, and the Kroksonow Asian, Jewish, middle-classosop up a little of the nectar that once fed them. They still cultivate a suave, Holyoke Street image: one part Andover Shop (where they frequently buy their neckwear), one part Gino's (formerly their official hairstylist) and two parts Hasty Pudding Club (of which they are all automatically members.) The Kroks in concert are remarkable...
