...rude surprise as well, because we can't get out of their crimes either. At this point, if Americans try to deny their own complicity in the crimes of these boys (as they surely will) and pass if off as the work of badly born and raised monsters, it's only the beginning. Of course their home life had a huge effect on what they turned out to be. But all of us--through television, through our economic system that keeps parents away from their children, through our general disrespect for humanity--created the climate for these crimes...
Responding to one of the first question in the string of interrogations proffered by eager pre-frosh this weekend, students will reply with a variety of inaccurate responses. As Bloomfield Hills, Santa Monica and Newton pass as Detroit, Los Angeles and Boston, next year's Yard community will remain comfortably metropolitan...
...enter Kirkland Dining Hall, heads pick up--male heads, of course. I pass by a female friend who normally says hello to me.

His face keeps watch on all those who pass--the students, tourists, shopkeepers, punks, and derelicts who rush to descend into the tunnels he helped to build, hopping onto the Red Line or just-muttering to themselves while wandering aimlessly, looking for a place to urinate. With the recent erection of the "Magnetic Poetry Wall," some may believe that the spirit of Harvard Square has reached its nadir, particularly if one is reading the latest attempt at actual verse or simply another adolescent...
