An Anecdote

Fifteen years ago (ok, 16 or 17 years ago), when I was a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health(now the Bloomberg School of Public Health), I was having lunch in the cafeteria with my husband, an intern at the time, and one of his fellow interns/ophthalmology residents, who happened to be from India. I was telling them about a fascinating article I was reading in a magazine called People.
“But not People like Us,” I quickly qualified, referring to the other gossip magazine.
“No,” the intern smiled, “like them.”
