...stripling Harvard education professor. At 31-and looking a bit young for some Radcliffe girls-he got Keppel's old job, and thus took a giant step forward in the U.S. academic procession. Not without qualms. The school has "one very big problem," he admitted. "A dean as raw as raw can be. This dean has to get out and make contacts in public education.

He tends a park gate where he shoos away any colored child who tries to enter. Every night Morris readies a ritualistic footbath for Zach's raw, swollen feet. But in the realm of color, skin-deep is heartdeep and there is no balm for those abrasions...
