This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have su...ited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the employments of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The death of William Tecumseh Sherman, which took place to-day at his residence in the city of New York at 1 o'clock and 50 minute...s p.m., is an event that will bring sorrow to the heart of every patriotic citizen. No living American was so loved and venerated as he.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A transition from an author's books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect.... Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In the East, it may be sufficiently symbolic to take an apartment three subway stops away from the family residence and proclaim i...ndependence. In the state of illusion and vast distances, establishing individuality may require leaving California. The young people of the East, rich and poor, are disciplined by the urban system in which they live. Trains have schedules. Buses stop at marked corners. Restaurants fill up at certain hours.

The young people of the West can almost shape their lives to suit, especially if they own a vehicle that can carry them anywhere at whim. California is home of the all-night market, Sunday shopping, and twenty-four-hour breakfasts in coffee shops. California is easy to rebel against because everything, including disaffection, is convenient. New York is not so easy.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

screenwriter Manchester was the residence of John Stark, a hero of two wars, and survivor of a third, and at his death the la...st but one of the American generals of the Revolution.... His monument stands upon the second bank of the river, about a mile and a half above the falls, and commands a prospect several miles up and down the Merrimack. It suggested how much more impressive in the landscape is the tomb of a hero than the dwellings of the inglorious living. Who is most dead,--a hero by whose monument you stand, or his descendants of whom you have never heard?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
