In the coming fall, the oft-repeated query, "Did you enjoy your vacation?" will be answered by a careless, "Yes," under which lurks an uneasy feeling that...

...brother, has already gotten its legs and become playful. It has begun to poke sticks through the fence at its neighbors and natural playmates, the Courant and Record. Sweet infant prodigy, we warn you that it is not yet near enough to the millennium to make it at all safe for children, weaned or unweaned, to pursue their little games near the domicile of the asp." - Yale...
