...Stack guided me to Harvard Hall, the main lounge. The decor was more "Harvard" than Harvard, and the men were a part of it. Dignity. Civility. White-haired men in baggy suits sat under framed images of themselves, while younger men stood expressionless in front of a TV screen which flashed silent, gray reports from the New York Stock Exchange. A granfalloon indeed. Each man reading his newspaper, comfortable in being alone with others like himself...

She is terribly, terribly interested in being taken seriously. She has elected to be a movie star, but underneath that creamy skin and those bulging blouses beats a Puritan heart. She is a Jane Austen heroine...
...Raquel has a shy Puritan heart, she also has the kind of forthright Puritan mind that in early America could probably have reconciled Scripture with slaving and rum-running. On-screen she may be the ultimate prehistoric predator, but in real life she is a carefully pre-fabricated commodity, a paradigm of the harddriving, self-made New Woman who just happened to choose acting as a career. "I'll admit I'm extremely strong-minded," says Raquel. "I don't know any other...
