...what bothered me was the fact that most of the groaning spectators were non-native. When cheering and berating, they pronounced the terminal “r?? in “Nomar” and “Mueller.” On the Red Sox hats they’d folded into rally caps, each “B” shone, gules, against dark-blue backgrounds. Disgusted, I turned on my heel and ascended from Waka. “Never trust a man with a new baseball cap” is an axiom...
...playoff ambitions were already dashed, but as the game dragged on and concessionaires pulled the taps on bleacher beer, the faces around me began to harden with purpose. Native Bostonians in every corner of the stadium—from toddlers just learning to mispronounce the Boston “r?? to die-hard 40-somethings escaping their wives—pulled together spontaneously to chant “Yankees Suck” for the rest of the game.

Dining hall conversations revolve around summer internships; house r??sume workshops are thronged with anxious would-be investment bankers. We half-expect—and many of our parents fully expect—that we will find lucrative employment upon graduation, but the plum jobs that seemed our due in the early 1990s are disappearing.
