He had a wise old face and the kind of arm you knew-well, you knew could cradle the head of a beloved as well as fill out income tax forms. We started talking...
...Jonathon Kozol (whose Death at an Early Age was just appearing in the Atlantic ) and Jed mentioned Peter Schragg and both of us felt vaguely impressed with the other, although, most of all, we were each gratified with ourselves.
