Student Six: I am what is called a Euro. I have an asymmetrical, dyed hairstyle and tend to wear clothing from the 20s. Sometimes I wonder aloud why we are even sitting in this class, for indeed we are all going to die someday, and then what? I think section discussions are all so pedestrian, for I once read a book by T.S. Eliot and then debated its relevance to the underground music movement over a cup of coffee and a clove cigarette at a nameless cafe with a man wearing a beret-like hat. I too sometimes wear...
That's the secret, really. Don't write out "TIME!!!" in inch-high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-blue-book finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra points if you can hack...
Down the hall a stealthy step or two from the President's office, an aide ) wonders aloud, "Can the Gipper get back the old magic? That's the question."

...camouflage complicated exposition as casual chatter. Thus it seems only natural that Jack Delaney, 40, a former jewel thief who has done time at a Louisiana penitentiary, should wind up working at the New Orleans mortuary owned by his brother-in-law Leo. Why is it, Leo wonders aloud, that every time they get a call to collect a corpse from the National Hansen's Disease Center at Carville, Jack calls in sick? Is he afraid of leprosy or what? The next thing Jack knows, he is driving the firm's hearse to a local soup kitchen and picking...
Standing on the steps of a Washington luncheon club last week, one of the capital's top lawyers watched the NSC's newly resigned Vice Admiral John Poindexter depart and mused aloud, "If I were a young lawyer in this city, I'd get hold of Oliver North right now and sign him up. I know him, and he's a hell of a guy. If they hold hearings on him, he'll be a national hero. There will be a book and then a movie, and he'll get just about any price he wants on the lecture circuit...
