...coffee in the Main Street Cafe indicates that fantasy was not exhausted on the buildings. The menu still offers such sandwiches as "Amy's All American" (peanut butter with optional jelly), "Billy's Road to Recovery" (cold turkey), and a green salad called "Rosalynn's Remedy."

Except for a brief period teaching a history correspondence course to under-educated American women, she spent most of her adult life keeping house for her father and suffering from nervous attacks. William, her eldest brother, became America's foremost psychologist and one of the leading philosophers of the nineteenth century; another, Henry, now ranks among the greatest novelists in the English language...
