...media and politics--a real "out of the box" experience--we had to return home to fair Harvard. Somehow, the real world looked a whole lot better--if politics can count as reality. We watched the lights come down from the rafters and Chris Matthews slip into trench coat to depart. For most of New Hampshire, the night was over. Gore and McCain were surely going to bed happy only to wake up to another day in another state. We finally attained our few moments of vicarious fame, and had to go home on the slick roads only to wake...

There was a director with a sign reading WILL WORK FOR DISTRIBUTION. And in a move even Pakistan wouldn't attempt, producers offered pedestrians a ride in a van, then refused...
...song "Only God Knows Why."But this is the era of Nick Carter, of course, so the Backstreet Boys hold the number one and the shrieking girls up the decibel level one last time. The show wraps, we wave goodbye to Megan and Kelly, the woman at the coat check compliments my sweater, we are ushered out into Gigi's place, and we head past security guards 1,2,3 into the fresh, and rather uncool, New York...
