...important employee, Carl Lundquist. An aging social scientist, Lundquist knows all the secrets and strategies of Nomad. He also combines the stature of a Vardis Fisher mountain man with Gunnar Myrdal's scholarship, Saul Alinsky's cogs-and-wheels knowledge of the impoverished and disaffected, and Walt Whitman's passion for undeodorized reality.

Its present inhabitants should leave that legacy to the scholars whose critical voyeurism will no doubt make short work...
...Miss Glazer, who works in the East House kitchen, said that Mrs. Bunting's count of how many students cat there is wrong. "There are 250 eating in Cabot and another 100 in Whitman. Mrs. Bunting's figure of 250 eating in East House dining rooms just dropped from the sky." she said...
