...something else. Cue up the music, and let's party like it's 1999. Abby Y. Fung '99, a history and literature concentrator in Mather House and executive editor of The Crimson in 1998, has always wanted a column of her own. She likes macaroni and cheese, F. Scott Fitzgerald short stories and the columns of Geoffrey C. Upton '99. She can be reached next year at ayfung@post.harvard.edu or ayf@odysseylp.com...
...Basie instrumentals, I included Every Day. It was the hit tune of our all-time hit album, Sing a Song of Basie.

A reader and loner and devotee of birds, and indeed all nature, the slim, shy girl of plain face and dark curly hair continued writing throughout adolescence, chose an English major at Pennsylvania College for Women and continued to submit poetry to periodicals. Not until junior year, when a biology course reawakened the "sense...
...Moveable Feast. In general, classroom learning is almost an afterthought for Americans studying abroad. As the generations of American expatriates, from Ernest Hemingway to Gertrude Stein, Class of 1898, to F. Scott Fitzgerald would attest, intellectual stimulation and creative inspiration are inherent in any foreign experience...
