...only we did! If only my lovelorn, career-driven, diverser-than-diverse collection of classmates could stop worrying for a few moments, could let the paper and the interview and yes, the nicely-inflated GPA slide, and join me in some old-fashioned wassailing! I would submit, ever so humbly, that no Harvard student can claim to have lived, really and truly, until he has staggered drunkenly down Mt.

Driven by poverty and AIDS, which has alone orphaned some 900,000, Kenyan children continue to pour from rural villages into Nairobi, where street crime, according to Nairobi Central Business District Association chairman Philip Kisia, has increased in direct proportion to their numbers. Yet little has been done about them. Says Kariuki: "The government cannot deal with street kids and hopes the private sector--especially the tourism...
