You know, I was just struck by something. Doctors, and med students, being no fools, are perfectly willing to have sex with nurses on the prowl, but in my experience they almost never marry nurses. You do hear of it from time to time, but it's sort of infra dig. Maybe that's because the class line between doctor and nurse is so clear, like the one between officers and enlisted men, or lawyers and secretaries. Aren't people weird? Or maybe it's just the environment I grew up in, but most of the doctors I ever knew were kinda social climbers, they (males) married girls "from good families" without real jobs, maybe a BA in art history or something.

How did Dan secure these names? Well, I suppose an hour crammed together in an elevator can lead to all sorts of confidences. I didn't ask too many questions, but later a very cute girl walked by and gave him this big smile and he said, Hi Elizabeth and then looked at me all cocky. I cracked up. I learned a great deal about a woman I was standing next to in the elevator line. It's amazing what people will tell a stranger. My good friend with daughters who is a nurse says she would discourage them strongly from marrying a doctor, that in general they have terrible marriages, with a great deal of stress.

Grad students ... Princeton had its share of memorable babes. What I remember is going to the very, very occasional party and being introduced to one of these fine specimens of nubility. My introductor would say "and this is ______". Charming smiles all around. "He's in chemistry." Sometimes admiration, usually condolence for being such a misguided masochist. Where DID chemists pick up a reputation for being such banner geeks? "He's in the graduate program." It was the most amazing thing to suddenly and palpably go transparent. The young lady's ocular lock would go tango uniform and suddenly she'd find herself wandering off looking for more socially substantive fare. Helas.
