Principal Harris makes a funny observation, but a shrewd one, about why her well-ordered Catholic school works. "We provide the same thing a gang provides: family, code, color, belonging and activity." And her gang is growing. Enrollment at St. Adalbert's increased by 41 special students this year, to 413, thanks to the most closely watched educational experiment in the country.

Lots of people want to know who could be writing such a bizarre, raunchy and, um, drop-dead-funny Website. His home page is among the hottest places on the Net--a top attraction on Prodigy, despite the page's lack of advertising, graphics, sound, color or flashing pyrotechnics. Or maybe as a result: Walter Miller's Home Page is just writing, hilarious writing, in the long tradition of lowbrow American satire. Think of Huck Finn, Forrest Gump and Beavis and Butt-head...
