We gave ourselves up, and we are left with a feeling of being lost. Perhaps every class feels that way, perhaps every person feels that when when he is 22.

He contracts a fatal illness; burning with fever, he helps the Paul Street boys to victory, then is taken home to die. A week later the disputed...
Toperoff is now a college teacher. For years, though, horses were his Harvard and his Yale. At the age of thirteen, to help finish school, he took a job mucking the stalls of race horses at a New York track. Soon he was lost in the miracle of watching a chosen horse break loose from the pack and thunder home first across the finish line...
