...walked into Adams C-entryway this Saturday night, only the plastic Coke bottles and the denim-clad undergrads would remind you that you were still in the 21st century. With the regal grace of 1940s high society, alumni and students alike gathered in Adams House for the third annual FDR Memorial Lecture and Gala Dinner. A speech given by Franklin Roosevelt’s grandson, Curtis Roosevelt, was followed by a black-tie dinner and dancing, complete with a live 10-piece orchestra playing jazz standards from...

Ironically, the decision of these high-fashion designers to come down from their ateliers and mix with the skateboard set is less their own than the imperative...
...what is It? Ten months later, we still don't know for sure, and no one who does is talking, least of all inventor Dean Kamen, 49. The only public utterance from the denim-clad millionaire was an early statement that "the leaked proposal quoted several prominent technology leaders out of context, without their doubts, risks and maybes included." (He also reportedly cut off all contact with Kemper, although Kemper has denied this.) The project was promising, Kamen said, but the expectations generated by the press were "beyond whimsical...
