This mass eviction is going to cause ??dness for an awfully large number of people if Harvard follows through with its enforcement plan. One kid in Leverett has already been forced to take back home a dog which has been his pet for many years...
...done with great bite and panache. The trouble is Olympia's pet cat at the end of the bed, black in the original, white in the reversal. Its transformation thrusts Black Olympia out of the world of politics and back to aesthetics by suggesting that the color of people matters no more than the color of cats -which, in some Utopia, may eventually come true: but not here and now.

...Washington plant could turn 130,000 tons of refuse a year into 52,000 tons of raw materials worth $833,000 on the open market. Among them: glass to help surface highways and pelletized paper to be used as a blend for fertilizer, insulation products and additives in pet foods.

Born outside Paris in 1883, Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel (never called anything but Coco for "Little Pet") was orphaned at six and raised in the desolate province of Auvergne by two aunts. From them, she learned that little girls should sew, sit up straight and speak politely; for sewing, a skill that forever eluded her. Coco substituted horseback riding. From Etienne Balsan, a millionaire cavalry officer who brought her to Paris at 16, Coco acquired the habits and tastes of the wealthy.
