Happiness--pure, simple joy--seldom rears its flaxen head in the Quincy House dining hall. But last Friday night, after all those sky-blue trays had been carefully tucked away, the tortured drone of discussions of international trade policy gave way to the sweetness and excitement of a first-rate jazz concert...
...what he practices is more like Big Brotherhood, the slightly proprietary snobbism of a global planner confined to one squalid room and one underdeveloped mentality. He is a demon of uplift ("talking helps") and tries to tempt Zach's palate with a wedge of pie in the sky-a farm the two brothers will buy and work.

Husky, plastic-helmeted men searched for scarce furnished rooms. The night sky glowed orange, and the air was filled with an acrid stench. "That smell used to make me deathly sick," says one Morrow County resident, "but now it doesn't bother me at all." And why should it? It has become the smell of wealth, the sweet odor of Ohio...
