...them at the Kong at 2:30 a.m., at the Grille on a Friday night or over a neglected math problem set in your room, you'll begin figuring out where you really fit in a three-dimensional world. It will be amazing to see l,600 merit scholars fan out, like light through a prism, into a class with jocks, nerds, class clowns, artists and every other teenage demographic. Some poor souls will even join the Harvard Lampoon; a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. In order to find...

Even better, she has the kind of I'm-no-snob demeanor that goes over spectacularly well in class-obsessed Britain, where artists who have (or can simulate) the common touch can count on being boosted by the down-market tabloids. That too is Church...
...image was riveting, as justice John Paul Stevens, a Chicago native, presented it. A gang member and his father are hanging out near Wrigley Field. Are they there "to rob an unsuspecting fan or just to get a glimpse of Sammy Sosa leaving the ball park?" A police officer has no idea, but under Chicago's anti-gang law, the cop must order them to disperse. With Stevens writing for a 6-to-3 majority, the Supreme Court last week struck down Chicago's sweeping statute, which had sparked 42,000 arrests in its three years of enforcement...
