My childless aunt and uncle sent us photos of their Scottie dogs every few months, and queries about the cats...
...Retrospect January 30, 1956 After four years of swimming in a national goldfish bowl, it is easy for the casual undergraduate to grow as indifferent to the changes within his Cambridge world as to development without.

Again, I was met with blank expressions all around, except for Seth, who had found a stash of Pepperidge Farm goldfish in his mother?s purse and was happily munching them. I then asked if there was any information I hadn?t asked, if Seth had any other symptoms that I hadn?t touched upon. "You?re the doctor," Seth?s father said...
