...insecure about their alma mater. Ask where they go to school, and they'll usually respond, "In Boston." Follow up with "Where in Boston?" and they sheepishly admit, "Uh, Harvard." But for one shining moment last week, Harvard had reason to be proud, as BONO gave the school's class-day address. "My name is Bono, and I am a rock star," he announced to a crowd of 15,000 (including Al Gore), who giddily bathed in his mojo. The 20-minute speech mixed star anecdotes with stories from Bono's Third World debt-relief tour, which he described...
GEORGE W. BUSH and Hillary Clinton don't have much in common, but they share the same blue blood. Yale Blue. (He's class of '68; she's law school '73.) And both will speak to the graduating class of '01. Clinton will deliver the traditional class-day address on May 20. While Yale doesn't normally have commencement-day speakers, the university is making an exception for the President, who--say sources close to Bush--will receive an honorary degree when he speaks on May 21.

It turns out to be slow work, though, especially for the audience. Most of the time the journalists seem to be doing a class-day imitation of Martin and Lewis, and though Brigitte undresses charmingly, she's just a bit too sisterly about it. Still, she's a fetching little hussy, and the language she speaks can be understood without subtitles...
...February 24 edition of the Crimson you published an article concerning the curtailment or elimination of class-day exercises in view of the present circumstances. There should be no question about the elimination of any exercise that is wasteful, or too expensive for incomes battered by wartime costs-of-living. Above all, I'm certain all of us want no part of anything that smacks of "fiddling while Washington burns". As to any other changes that are suggested, I feel it imperative that the entire class be given the opportunity to express their views in a poll...
