## 103 There is no mistaking how Eric Markowitz feels about borrowing money: “I hate debt,” he said. Dr. Markowitz, a dentist in Washington, D.C., took out a mortgage to buy a home for his family, but that’s the extent of his borrowing. And he fully intends to have it paid off by the time he retires in 15 years or so. “I sleep better knowing I have limited debt,” he said. “I just don’t like owing people.”

It is neither mowed nor neglected but rather nurtured each fall with an intensive regimen of organic fertilizer. “I want it long,” Standefer says.

Biden Jr. and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Rather than gaze at the bay or the boats or the building-size piles of bleached shells, two men — one thinner, one thicker — stared at the shellfish workers.

The workers watched them watching, too, and they soon began to realize that the men were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. When the workers made eye contact, the officers nodded politely, but they said very little. For weeks, they just watched. Then the workers began to vanish.
