...when students will finally be able to dress their professors in drag is drawing near, thanks to the bright minds in Computer Science 50, “Introduction to Computer Science I.” CS 50 student Or Gadish ’10 created a program for his first problem set that enables students to put earrings, masks, and gaudy makeup on the course instructor, David J. Malan ’99. Friends want Gadish to expand the program to other professors, like Economics guru Beren Professor of Economics N. Gregory Mankiw...

These are just the kind of fans the National Football League wants, and the kind that the World Wrestling Federation has been able to drag blindly into its new enterprise, the first major pro league to be launched since the three-season flop of the United States Football League (USFL) in the mid-'80s.
