...nauseous. Harvard eats at Tommy's Lunch, where they only give one paper cocktail napkin to each customer. Harvard makes Harvard drink from styrofoam cups instead of real glasses, not to mention investing in South Africa. Harvard eats spaghetti with a spoon because the forks came out of the dish washer green. Harvard tears reserved reading and old exams out of books. Harvard is just too busy to worry about being polite...

...Brown, 34, mother of the first "test tube" baby, and John Brown, 42, a truck driver: their second child, a girl; in Bristol, England. Name: Natalie Jane. Weight: 5 lbs. 12 oz. Like Louise, her healthy sister, who will be four next month, Natalie was conceived in a Petri dish by doctors uniting mother's egg and father's sperm. About 30 children have been born through the same technique; the Browns are the first couple to have a second separately implanted child...
