Select Sixteen
What's that?
The super-elite East Coast prep schools that have been around forever: Andover, Exeter, Hotchkiss, Groton, St. Mark's, St. Paul's, Middlesex...
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

He coined the term WASP, has written a lot about American elite culture and Philadelphia and etc. He was a guest speaker to one of my undergrad classes, and since he had just written a book about tennis, that is what he spoke on. Note: the class was not about tennis, or sports in any way. He was just a really great, impressive, dapper, dotty old guy.

Hah! He prepped at St. Paul's. That explains so much. I think that place only aggravated my sister's issues.
