Einhorn won a teaching fellowship at Harvard in the '70s. In the '60s he had taught an alternative-education class at Penn, his alma mater, and once reportedly broke out the joints, stripped naked and danced in the classroom. Thirty years ago, not everyone was after an M.B.A...
Last week magistrates closed off the Place de l'Alma tunnel and led a grim procession of investigators along the 60 ft. of skid marks that end at the fateful 13th post, graphic proof of Paul's attempts to retake control of the Mercedes in its final seconds. The group stopped often, checking charts, trying to pin down the truth of what happened. There have been too many stories, some rash, some without substance...
...fantasy, a full-fledged student center for gay and lesbian students a distant dream. In the dormitories, a homophobic student scribbles "faggot" on the wall, as occurred in Dunster House this past spring. When Angels in America playwright Larry Kramer offered millions of dollars to Yale University, his alma mater, for the creation of a professorship of Lesbian and Gay Studies, it was denied.

...business to charm the courtly porcupine who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, eschewing the diplomatic handshake in favor of kissing his Moon Pie face (both cheeks) and interrupting her global travels to tour his home state, where she gave the Jesse Helms Lecture at Wingate University, Helms' alma mater. As Helms and Albright toured a bit of North Carolina together, they looked like an old couple trying to find a nice place to retire. Afterward, she gave him a T shirt inscribed SOMEBODY AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT LOVES ME. Two weeks ago, when he showed up at a Washington...
