...fact, for every new or remodeled building which boasts access improvements, so many others, from Harvard Hall to Warren House, offer neither elevators nor ramps. Even though the opportunity to take a class--or follow the meal plan, or take an exam--is open to any student who qualifies for admission, the full life that Harvard has to offer is limited by the subtle ways in which rich experience must be sacrificed for convenience...

After a few sips of one of his fine clarets, Burger, who died last week at the age of 87, would lean back and reminisce about his rearing in the mold of the Horatio Alger stories, where young boys never rested, tried everything, excelled at much and took joy at each simple turn in a life on the land...
