...iMac's keyboard is so small that composing an e-mail with those translucent black keys (so chic!) is more of a nuisance than a joy. The function keys are tinier than the average Undergraduate Council grant. And those miniscule arrow keys, about the size of a worn-down eraser? Please. It isn't much use to be able to access the Web quickly if you can't type the correct address. Crowning these indignities, the iMac has no delete button, only backspace--so to fix your mistakes, you have to use those *#&@$% arrow keys...
...Irene Roth, Bobby's fiancee (of five years, no less), Kate Earls '00 is perfectly cast--her elegance matches her ultra-glamorous wardrobe, which includes several full-length evening gowns, each more stylish and chic than the next.

In the back kitchen, two or three waify waiters lounge around the underground...
...even more trashy games and retro chic, head to virgin.net/games for mini-golf, pool, football and celebrity trivia, and the world-renowned "big ass card game." For the Garbage-Pail-Kid generation, Pacman, Frogger and Arkanoid are still alive and kicking. Chat rooms are not integrated into these games--but did you ever want to hand over the joystick to Player...
...Horowitz, have morally abdicated. They have, he says, left the articulation of the African-American case to black racists and demagogues (Louis Farrakhan, for example) and to intellectual mediocrities whom the culture at large witlessly honors. Identity politics, policed by nearly fascist standards of correctness, combines with a certain chic and with residual but tenured Marxism (which flourishes in some American universities the way ex-Nazis once prospered in Paraguay) to corrupt--to prevent--the exchange of ideas...
