...walking through the Yard the other day, surrounded by brick buildings, under the canopy of green trees, feeling exhilarated about Harvard life and the year to come. I took a deep breath of the crisp Cambridge air and stopped along the path to take a look at my fellow Harvard students. I was greeted with a sea of similarity...
...stepped off the plane, two hours late, I held my breath and prayed that the mysterious Yamamotosan would be there. I frantically searched the crowd for my savior, but to my utter dismay there was no sign bearing my name, and no indication of my host. I managed to wait for about 30 seconds until panic began to overtake me. Where was he?!

Agnetha Faltskog has lived in heavily guarded seclusion in Stockholm, and Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have been working on music projects. Lyngstad...

With delegates and platform further right, Would San Diego show the zealots' might? Well, no. Unbashed went lesbians and gays. And even Martin Luther King got praise. So strong was the control of this convention, Abortion went without a prime-time mention. Buchanan, though his speaking skills are stellar, Was bound and gagged and hidden in the cellar...
