...knowledge gap continues. At a Washington dinner party recently, out of deference to a visitor from cyberworld, the talk turned to computers. One guest made a brave foray: "What is this thing Pathfinder I keep hearing about?" Answer: Pathfinder is one of the most heavily trafficked sites on the Web. The company that owns this very magazine has spent untold millions building and promoting it. Time Warner executives will be disappointed to learn that none of these Beltway honchos could identify it. One person--an actual Time Warner employee--volunteered, "Oh, I know!

Harvard decided that my wartime experience entitled me to return as a junior, so that I had barely three college years in residence. Having felt myself an outsider when I arrived, I felt felling not so much an outsider as a visitor who had not enjoyed the full Harvard experience and was not qualified to think of myself as a Harvard person (whatever that means). My sense of the Harvard I missed is embodied in George Weller's lovely but little-remembered novel from the mid-30s Not to Eat, Not for Love. It was only at reunions...
