JACK OVERHILL recalls his childhood and youth in the Cambridge, of fifty years ago.
The speaker, whose father was a shoemaker-a Snob in the local vernacular-was brought up under conditions of extreme poverty in a Cambridge far removed from the dignified University Town we more often hear about. He survived not only the poverty but a broken home and a nervous breakdown to become an author, lecturer in economics, and champion swimmer.
