...Washington Times yesterday first drew parallels between CAP and the Owl, but a spokeswoman for Kennedy called the comparison “absurd.” “This social club has zero in common with CAP, an organization designed to promote an agenda that rolled back the clock on equality and justice,” the spokeswoman, Laura Capps, said in an interview on Wednesday night. Capps noted that when Kennedy graduated from the College in 1956, women from Radcliffe had just begun to attend Harvard classes. “When Senator Kennedy joined the all male social...

He first had the idea as a young man, when he would bring his accordion to the grape harvest. Playing Mozart round the clock to his grapes has a dramatic effect, he claims. "It ripens them faster," he says, adding that it also keeps away parasites and birds. If Mozart had really been buried in a pauper's grave, he would probably be spinning in it. But with so little still understood about...
