...seems logical that any new living space opened up would attract students who wish to room with new friends outside their present House. Normally, inter-House shifting is taboo, and Wigg and Claverly offer but a minimum of relief (and Wigg will be all-freshman next year anyway). Moving to any new House also offers a tactful excuse for leaving present roommates and escaping tensions. "There's always a push and a pull in these moves," Riesman hays, "and the roommate situation may well be either...

...slept on a shakedown bed under the stairway of an unheated Moscow tenement house. There he received anonymous gifts of food, rather like a Hindu holy man before whose hovel little dishes are placed by unseen hands. During the Terror of '36-'37, he lost his "living space" and food-ration privileges. When Red Army Marshal Tukhachevsky et al. were executed, Pasternak was asked to sign a resolution of approval, and refused: "My wife was pregnant. She cried and begged me to sign, but I couldn't ... I abhorred all this blood ... It was, I was told...
