...doubt that Patty Hearst [March 1] was brainwashed? Have we forgotten how our whole society was brainwashed? When radical chic ruled Park Avenue? When Bloomingdale's sold bandoliers for fashionable ladies to sport across their chests? When a Governor told his state's rioters he didn't blame them for taking what they thought should be theirs? When universities turned down fifth-generation, all-A students for the lowest SATs? When middle-class kids became so confused they didn't feel right (or even safe) clad in decent clothes...

To Holloway, who has never spent more than four years in any one place, Harvard seems like "just another assignment."

...Pudding show," Mark O'Donnell said at the gala opening of his Tots in Tinseltown. One wonders about those in the Pudding. A homogenous mass composed of the adolescent suet of the land, the Pudding remains in its 1930's mold even today. In the oak-panelled room, the chic play pool under hanging metal-shaded bulbs. They dress in vests and slick their hair back, but these kids' costumes aren't just dress-up. Anyone passing at night on Holyoke St., looking in through the lighted arched windows, can see that they finger their cues smoothly. They know...
