This led, predictably, to a kind of spiritual emptiness: restless, confused beings who sought crude material fulfillment. For Fitzgerald, the nouveau riche were vulgar and ostentatious, and the old aristocracy not much better. Though graceful, he found the latter bored (Jordan), shallow (Jordan, Daisy), or thick (Tom).

After some confusion regarding the infield fly rule, which was in fact in effect, the shallow fly dropped in fair in short left field, but Wilson alertly flipped the ball to Brown, who applied the tag to the runner leading off third to end the inning and returned the ball to Wilson for a superfluous...

Seniors (and alums) should not give to Harvard blindly. But neither should they let the bad overshadow the good. Whether Harvard has a student center or not does not affect the fundamentally positive things that Harvard accomplishes. Enforcing narrow administrative or academic accountability by rejecting the Senior Gift makes...
