...must confess to being partial to both millionaire venture capitalists (and others who feed from the investment banking trough) and liberal scions of political dynasties. Thus have the two candidates for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54-56 and his Republican rival, W. Mitt Romney, been characterized...
...must confess I am very disappointed in your choice to publish the recent article by David S. Griffel ("And The Band Played On (II)," sports column, Oct. 13, 1994). "The crowd stinks," and "the fans are...LAME" are some of the first phrases that jumped out at me when I read the article.

...know their name, I found I knew many of WAR's songs. For the past thirty years this group has been together, fused with the common mission of equality, racial harmony and peace. They sang their famous, hearty rocking song "Low Rider" and the crowd went wild. I confess that I only knew this song from the movie "Dazed and Confused," and had probably never heard WAR's version of it, but I danced and reveled in it nonetheless. They played many more of their songs which I learned later on from friends have been some of their favorites since...
