...Prescription for the Harvard children: Vodka and orange juice, peanut M & Ms and 150 pages of sourcebook reading. When the bell tolls, kiss the dog, it's reading period...
...over Ivy n' Matty. Can't get over the affected exclamation, "Amazing." Addicted to lip balms, try as we might. Not over illegal drug use. Or girlfriends. Not over modesty.
