Campus politics more or less follows the intellectual patterns established in the classroom, albeit in a slightly perverse fashion. It seems that those most opposed to Derek Bok & Co. know them the best; after all, what is an administrator without a crisis to administrate? As long as the bounds of acceptable conduct are adhered to, the occasional political protests or marches serve to show the idealism of Harvard youth--and feed the self-importance of University Hall...
...Plehn's Just So boutique in Washington, D.C., for example, some customers are willing to spend $483 for a pink silk taffeta party dress for eight-year-olds.

They include memoirs, letters, sketches and two novels, Islands in the Stream and now The Garden of Eden, a kinky love triangle about a promising young writer and two women on the leading edge of fashion and sexual mechanics. The setting is the coast of southern France during the mid-1920s. The sun is strong, the water clean, the food good and true. Best of all, the hotel Grau du Roi is a fine place to be a writer named David Bourne, honeymooning and working...
