John, Pat's son, who seems to be in his early twenties, sits quietly at the end of the table throughout the conversation, less eager to laud Harvard for its kindness and generosity. "At Eliot and Kirkland House, it's different than it is here," he says. "Over there they treat you like nothing. The kids come in and they don't even speak. They ignore you. They just point or grunt to let you know what they want," he says. The other workers seem disconcerted by this statement. "Well, it's true at some of these other Houses, students...

...financial ruin was of little concern. Her ambition had already driven her to beard a haughty Alfred Stieglitz in his own studio-with his own camera. Other victims of Maude's lens included D.H. Lawrence, Eugene O'Neill, Ezra Pound, Raymond Chandler and Robert Frost, "the biggest son of a bitch I was ever to photograph." E.E. Cummings, T.S.
