Once we removed the uppermost layer of dirt, we found other surprises. The boys' vices, we discovered, extended beyond mere slovenliness to include a seemingly unquenchable thirst for alcohol in any form. The kitchen, for example, was ill-equipped for preparing a typical meal--forks were in short supply, as were other utensils, with the exception of one disturbingly large meat cleaver, and we counted exactly four plates. But mugs and tumblers were tucked into every cabinet, along with a blender and even a funnel. In the basement, snap-shots were tacked on the walls featuring hordes of white-hatted...
...Georgetown website under a list of student houses that were available for the summer, and we finally found one that could accommodate six people. The price was far cheaper than living in local dorms, which charged by the night, and the house had the added benefit of a kitchen and a backyard. The boys who lived there during the year, most of whom were on Georgetown's lacrosse team, would be back in September and were happy to leave us their furniture. We were ready to rent...

...smoking sets you apart--literally. At restaurants we are seated back by the kitchen door, where we dine to the music of busboys clattering silverware into milky dishwater. At work we smoke huddled in the rain and snow, risking pneumonia for (we are told) the sake of the public health. The unintended consequence of each new restriction has been to make smoking a badge of honor, a sign of one's refusal to give in. And now, with last week's agreement--with this consensus arrived at by America's cynics and pols and buttinskies--the attractions of smoking...
