...Harvard greasy spoon is a well-established institution impervious to almost anything short of a full-scale nuclear attack. Elsie's and Tommy's have been feeding Harvard students since Christ was a corporal, and at 24 Holyoke St., where the 24 Restaurant recently replaced Hazen's, the greasy spoon will endure until the resurrection.

It is rumored that golf is less "a thing of the spirit" than it once was. Given such commercial-calamitous times, golfers and nongolfers alike must swiftly turn for solace to The Oldest Member. Who better than Wodehouse can guard against creeping greed and gallopping solemnity, on the page or on the fairway...
