They trickled down the cheek of a younger South African woman who knelt beside the flower-strewn memorial to her brother, felled by a police bullet on June 16, 1976, the first day of the Soweto uprising. After lighting candles, the kneeling woman and three other family members softly intoned their new national anthem, God Bless Africa. "That's when I lost it," Jamison said later.

Might, a San Francisco-based Gen X magazine, features tongue-in-cheek tables of contents, as in "Pages 157-72: Unflattering Gossip About Owners of Companies That Won't Advertise with Us" or "Pages 161-168: Some Stuff We Didn't Fact Check...

He claimed to have finished second behind President Clinton in last year...

Set in the fictitious Pueblo Cito, a "backward little town" on the coast of Spain, the story revolves around three principal characters: El Bean (Tim Arnold '00), a famous matador; Hector (Elie Mystal '00), a sleazy politician; and Ana Sanchez (Tonia d'Amelio...
