...those days Andy used to enjoy student hospitality--many would invite him up to their rooms for refreshment. A fellow with the improbable name of Ducky Pond in M-entry of Lowell House who had a bar in his room used to be especially nice to him. "'There was always an invitation there for the letter-carrier," Andy recalls; "they had quite a session there at one spring dance. There was a room for punch, a room for beer, and a room for liquor. I went into the liquor room and they handed me a half-glass of whiskey--they...
Years ago, when Andy was delivering mail in Fresh Pond, he would report at 7:20 in the morning, make two deliveries and then enjoy a two-hour layoff from 12:40 to 2:40 p.m. He would then make his afternoon delivery, and go home at 5 p.m. Nowadays he must be at the post office at 6:15 a.m. and work until 2:45 p.m. with a half hour off for lunch.

Inside, the private rooms are furnished with an eye to simplicity; the public rooms are made flexible in size by sliding shoji panels. To permanent residents of the area it is not the Motel on the Mountain, but "the Japanese motel...
Monaco's Prince Rainier left his small pond on the Mediterranean, journeyed to a bigger pool at Gstaad, Switzerland for a vacation with Princess Grace. There he alienated music lovers and continued his vendetta against cameramen by showing up at a concert with Grace ten minutes late, strong-arming a photographer who tried to snap him and his half-sprouted goatee. Then, at intermission, petulant Rainier walked out on Violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Composer Benjamin Britten before a performance of five of Britten's short pieces...
