...Crimson, The Independent, The Harvard International Review, The Harvard Political Review, The Advocate, or any number of other student publications. Yet for over a decade now they have failed to produce a decent student publication. The students, however, have not been alone. Black faculty and administrative staff represent another curious example of DuBois' conception of the "talented tenth". Certainly with Harvard's unparalleled resources and influence, one could have expected black faculty and staff, say in conjunction with the Harvard Foundation and the W.E.B.

...Newcomer Griffin Dunne is the perfect lukewater Romeo to his elusive Juliet, stumbling through the night as King fool losing his keys, cash and prospective girlfriend in the bargain. Peering around with his puppy--dog eyes, Dunne is archetype Lost Boy--eager to find his way home, but predictably curious about the native customs.

As a sidelight, Milner also claimed to have seen some "red juice," a fruit juice and amphetamine concoction, in the locker of Willie Mays when both played for the New York Mets in the early '70s. "The Willie Mays?" asked Defense Attorney Adam Renfroe. "Willie Mays -- the great one," replied Milner. An angry Mays denied the charge, and his doctor told CBS that the red liquid was cough...
