Taylor was not the only recent Harvard graduate to place beyond expectation on Saturday. Men’s track co-captain Chris Clever ’00, who placed ninth at NCAAs on May 30, rebounded to fourth place in the men’s javelin with a peak throw of 72.47 meters and beat 2001 NCAA champion John Steigeler of Oregon in the process...
...brother-and-sister act. Though the press has long described the two as such, it turns out that singer/guitarist Jack White, 25, and drummer Meg White, 26, were married in 1996. Why hide it?

If Clinton was often too clever by half, in Disraeli's famous phrase, Bush sometimes deliberately seems only half-clever. But who do we like more: the smartest kid in class who sits in the first row and answers every question, or the fellow who sits in the back row and surprises you when he gets the right answer? I'm sure George Bush never sat in the first...
