HIGHER EDUCATION Sarah, a law student, stared nervously at her textbook for five minutes before finally glaring across the table


The New York Public Library

Scene: 1:30 p.m. Law students, fifth-grade field-trippers, senior citizens surfin' the Net.

MARCHING POWDER A leisurely stroll in the reading room resulted in two separate groups of library patrons switching tables



Reaction: A Filipino lady threatens to "punch me in the face" after I offer a young woman a bump to help her get through the final Harry Potter book. (She looks to be about 20, but, to my horror, turns out to be 15. The Filipino lady is her mother.) A trio of Asian students studying organic chemistry refuse to make eye contact with me as I sniffle loudly with powder all over my face. After two tense minutes, the female in the group glares at me and whispers something to her pals. Moments later, they pack up their books and flee.

SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE? No.
