The 92nd Street Y
is no ordinary nursery school. I’m having trouble imagining this. Having visited a friend who lived at the Y in Madison, WI when there was a shortage of dorm space at the U, the mental image is amusing. I wouldn’t let any child of mine, under or over 18, into that Y. So we must be thinking totally different Y’s here.

Yes, I’m sincerely thanking more than my stars that I’ve been spared that kind of stress.
