...about the Hamptons, the seaside Long Island, N.Y., enclave that hosts Manhattan's rich and sybaritic every summer, you might call Dynasty's Aaron Spelling, Sex and the City's Darren Star or whoever produces Wild On for the E! network.

Last week a bitterly divided federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 5 to 4 in favor of the school's race-conscious admissions policy. Lawyers for Barbara Grutter, a white woman whose Michigan application was rejected, are already working on her appeal. "It's time for the Supreme Court to weigh in and explain better what the law is in this area," says Terence Pell, CEO of the Center for Individual Rights, which is funding Grutter...
