When the cast of Survivor began feasting on a bowl of squirming larvae a few weeks ago, the first thing I did--after gagging--was call my friend Daniel to dish about it. But he didn't answer.

The starving artist can inhabit a cubicle containing nothing but its own six black walls, with black and white postcards of jazz musicians to be tacked up later. The John Harvard Scholar, meanwhile, can pick a similar little cube, only entirely white inside, equipped with...
