...confess: I love fashion. I study the magazines; I shop; I spend more than I should. To look chic is to feel great. No matter how we women yearn to be valued for other qualities, we invest a considerable amount of our psychic selves in our appearance. We're not all born beautiful, but we can make the most of what we've got. That's the art of style: improving on nature.

HARVARD'S brush with the law forced University officials to essentially confess to an accusation that they have long brushed aside--that many athletes admitted to Harvard are substantially less qualified than the rest of the student body. Although the University has been loathe to release specific figures in the past, casual observation reveals the nasty truth that a "jock" sub-culture exists at the nation's most prestigious academic institution.

If your readers have been following Mr. Carswell's advice for the last 11 years, then your readers have been going down the tubes. It is time to disillusion...
...gotten older, I have put the Sox' problems in the proper perspective. I do actually enjoy going to games when the Red Sox lose. I have no trouble watching a game without slamming my fist down. And, though it opened a few healing wounds, I must confess that I hardly resisted the opportunity to relive the 1986 fiasco through Roger Angell's Season Ticket...
