...year-old writer who lives in a one-room cabin overlooking the Pacific. I warmed to her immediately, more spontaneously than I have reacted to anyone in months. The New Republic, lying next to a jar of honey on a checkered table cloth, made me laugh inwardly. But at the same time, I became defensive because this woman had done what I often dream of but will never do: dropped out of a respectable Eastern college.

Only a one-room building for his use was completed at the tune, and the servants had all gone to bed, leaving no fires burning. Despite that inauspicious beginning, the Jeffersons appear unusually contented. They have one daughter, Martha, 4 (a second daughter died this year at two), and Mrs. Jefferson...
