On Small-Town Living...

"Sitting alone, in that quiet classroom, with only the tick of the wall-clock and the faint shouts of my approaching pupils to be heard, I felt, perhaps more keenly than ever before, just what it means to be a villager -- someone whose welfare is of interest (sometimes of unwelcome interest) to one's neighbors -- but always to matter."
