As a group, the kids are unorthodox, outspoken late bloomers. "They're very bright, but they didn't discover it until they were juniors or seniors in high school," says Goucher College president Sanford Ungar, who makes the point that those who find their way to a place like Goucher...
...former President is still the superstar. People follow him into shops when they see him walking around, townsfolk say. On a day like Memorial Day, when both Clintons appear together at the end of the parade route, he draws by far the bigger crowd...
