...Lampoon's conduct is inexcusable, certainly. The editors of the magazine seem to believe that their building is a privileged enclave where they can harass their neighbors and break the law with impunity. Adams House residents have had to deal with loud parties at the Lampoon all semester. The magazine staff, presumably all decent people, have nevertheless been incredibly inconsiderate to their neighbors, and only after Associate Dean David P.

...license to practice law. The largest question raised by the Lewinsky scandal has, of course, been answered: Should the President, given his troublesome testimony under oath, be removed from office?

Through her books and syndicated radio show (soon to become a TV show), Dr. Laura preaches a reactionary gospel, begging for a return to 1950s family values and dissing the choices of an entire generation--my generation--that wants to "have it all": fabulous careers, love lives and families. Dr. Laura is so ripe...
