...shows on the island on Brattle Street on weekend nights. They must be doing something right, because the crowds they attract are huge and enthusiastic--on the other hand, some Cantabridgeans object to the congestion in pedestrian traffic that results. Some others also resent the bullshit involved in this pale imitation of New Left "street entertainment for the people...
...little well-to-do, besides keeping a share of fame from his book. But on his deathbed he said, without even bothering with emotion, that nothing in his life meant quite as much as those early years travelling around the world, that every thing after seemed a little pale--pleasantly, perhaps, but still lacking in something not easy to describe that couldn't be refound, though once, it seemed, it would never fade."
