Texas Gov. George W. Bush put himself in a tough position this past February when he sold his political soul to the devil--er, Pat Robertson--in exchange for a comeback victory in South Carolina. It seems to me that the easiest way for him to show people the compassionate part of his "compassionate conservatism" exists, is to choose the right running mate. Insisting on a pro-life running mate just won't work. One name no one seems to raise anymore because of her recent tough re-election battle is New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. She is everything...

...status of hardcore ringmaster Korn was even more precarious. The explosion of grunge sent dark, disturbing, angry metal back into the goth-loving, cape-wearing, motorcycle riding, Dungeons and Dragons playing pit from whence it came.

But Mr. Hick-Hop was not the only rocker that suffered. Metallica was temporarily uncool and Megadeth was mega-dead. Meanwhile, Korn was chillin' on the West Coast in Bakersfield, Calif...
...always, the devil is in the details. Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth '71 has rightly noted that the Pudding space should be dedicated entirely to student use. What has yet to be determined, however, is how exactly the space will be divided--a task that in turn depends on what specific role the renovated building will occupy in campus life. Illingworth and others involved in the decision-making process should preserve the Pudding's artistic tradition by giving priority to the theater and performing groups...
...This is why Harvard cannot serve as his model: without Division I basketball or football, there is no culture of manliness at Harvard. This should not come as news to Harvard women, caught between the devil of final clubs and the deep blue sea of Lamont Library. Elsewhere--think Mississippi--campus society puts its finest specimens of testosterone at the top of the pecking order. They are kings of their respective castles, showered with all the attention that would have been appropriate for a victorious army of yore. This phenomenon has its reasons: manliness, according to Tom Wolfe, developed from...
