...symbolic vehicle of meaning. It represents Harvard's economic and cultural imperialism, its sexist and elitist tendencies and its dichotomous aspiration to identify with both the British Oxbridge educational model and the American Way of life. The small "green span" we constantly traverse wields at least as much power--albeit of a different sort--as the Fed Head himself. Who knew...

Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has shown that he would accept a U.N. force in Kosovo, albeit small and lightly armed.

This amorphous Mr. Danger, he who lurks in the shadows between blue light phones, also keeps my grandmother up at nights. He, (sorry guys, but this is definitely not a gender-neutral character) could be disguised as the charming preppy boy at the party who innocently offers you a sweet-tasting drink.
