Hard-boiled

For those of our friends who don't get The College magazine, or don't bother to read it: James M Cain, author of "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "Double Indemnity" and "Mildred Pierce" spent in his boyhood in Paca-Caroll. His father was a teacher at St John's around the turn of the last century, and Paca Caroll was faculty housing then. Cain fils later taught journalism at St John's in the 1920s.
